Creative Time Presents:
The Creative Time Summit: Living as Form
At the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, NYU
September 23, 2011
Curated by Nato Thompson
An annual conference bringing together cultural producers to discuss how their work engages pressing issues affecting our world.
The Creative Time Summit includes cultural producers whose international projects consist of a vast array of practices and methodologies that engage with the canvas of everyday life. Participants range from art world luminaries to those purposefully obscure, providing a glimpse into an evolving community concerned with the political implications of socially engaged art. This third iteration of the Summit features presenters with projects in the Living as Form archive.
The third annual Leonore Annenberg Prize for Art and Social Change is a $25,000 award, generously supported by the Annenberg Foundation, honoring an artist who has committed his or her life's work to promoting social justice in surprising and profound ways. Past recipients include The Yes Men and Rick Lowe.
Schedule: Friday, September 23
