SEMINAR DAY 2
Saturday 8 September, Tou Scene
10·00–10·50 Art & Belonging: on place, displacement and placelessness
Keynote by Professor Alison Young, University of Melbourne
Street art is often talked about as contributing to a sense of place. Murals projects, festivals, and street artworks are said to foster feelings of belonging, recognition and connection to a place. More than this, street art is increasingly used in place-branding and in commercial transactions. This talk will pose some questions about the implications of the way that street art relates to place and both makes and un-makes spaces of connection and disconnection. It will begin with the use of works by artists such as Rone and Sofles, and the widespread problem of how street art has been used to sell property development as part of the now well-known relationship between art and gentrification. It will move on to consider the place of art in the midst of demolition, displacement and destruction, through consideration of the work of artists such as Ian Strange, Richard Wentworth, Francis Alÿs, and Stanislava Pinchuk, whose works address displacement and eviction, creating art that responds to the loss of place and the destruction of belonging.
