International Conference held by the Korean Society of Art Theories

The conference “Art on the Street” will interrogate the ways in which
the process of creation, perception, and reception of the artwork
relates to the formation of a community. We set out to investigate
specific examples of contemporary art practices in glocal contexts. We
seek to explore artistic practices that resist and/or negotiate in
terms of everyday life, localization, globalization, and social and
cultural structures. We propose art as potential means of collective
empowerment and investigate art practices that help form a community.
