CHArt TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
 
OBJECT AND IDENTITY IN A DIGITAL AGE
 
Thursday 12 - Friday 13 November 2009
 
Birkbeck, University of London, Clore Lecture Theatre, Clore Management Centre, Torrington Square, London, WC1 7HX.

This year's CHArt conference engages with the idea of object and identity in relation to art practice, production, consumption, representation and display. The conference will explore new notions of the identity of the artist, including those involving collaboration and anonymity; new conceptions and ontologies of the art object, as processual, virtual, or hybrid; new means of consumption and reception, whether in galleries and museums, in public spaces, or over networks of broadcast and narrowcast; and the challenges these transformations bring to the display of art and to its curation and access.
 
Places are limited so early booking is recommended.
 
The booking form is available online on www.chart.ac.uk.  Bookings made before 1 October 2009 will be entitled to a discount.  Conference fees (pounds sterling) - include coffee/tea breaks and lunch.
