radical philosophy conference - art and immaterial labour

Saturday 19 January 2008, 10.00 am–5.00 pm

The Auditorium, Tate Britain, London sw1
Art’s materiality has been the focus of critical debate since claims about the ‘dematerialization’ of art were made in New York at the end of the 1960s. More recently, in the context of libertarian political debates in Italy and France, claims have been made about the ‘immaterial’ character of labour processes based on information technology, and the cultural and intellectual content of commodities. This conference brings these two discourses together to stage a debate about contemporary art, ‘immaterial’ labour and
new modes of production of subjectivity.
