30 March 2012, at the symposium.
Venue: Royal Academy of Art (KABK) Prinsessegracht 4, The Hague
Alauda Publications proudly presents the symposium Rethinking Robert Smithson about the legacy of the artist Robert Smithson (1938–1973) and its relevance for contemporary artistic practices. In many ways, the artistic debates prevalent in the 1970s are recurring in our time: the relation between art and ecology, the position of the artist within a growing information and media society and the crisis of (neo) liberalism. Along the line of two thematic approaches related to Smithson's practice, Art and Ecology and The Cinematic Condition, topical concerns in artistic practice of the 1970s and today are reconsidered by internationally renowned theorists and artists.
