The success of The Animal Gaze encouraged London Met to set up a series of associated events around animals and art today. These will be part of an ongoing programme under the banner of Cass Contemporary Arts (CASSCA).
Forthcoming Workshops
CASSCA intends to host a series of workshops from May 2009 to July 2010, where participants can meet to test theory and encounter problems in practice about animals and art. Each workshop may involve a field trip and will take place over a weekend (subjects, dates and locations to be announced in February 2009). Fees will include Saturday night accommodation and catering. If you are interested in participating, please click here.
2010 Symposium & Exhibition
CASSCA announces another symposium on animal/human studies and contemporary art at Sir John Cass in October 2010 (final dates to be announced). Again, the event will be developed from practice-led university research in fine art. We welcome practising artists in particular, and participation from all disciplines and from varying research approaches in general, both scholarly and practice-led. We invite proposals for papers, presentations, dialogues, showings, interventions, performances and workshops in all formats. DEADLINE: March 31st, 2010 (notice of acceptance to be made by May 30th, 2010). Please send proposals and abstracts of no more than 300 words to Rosemarie McGoldrick at London Met.
