‘Shattering Illusions’: The Arts at HowTheLightGetsIn 2013
‘From Laurie Anderson to Damien Hirst, a generation of artists banished beauty in favour of the discordant and the weird. Was this an error? Should we welcome beauty back, and if so, what does this means for art?’
Thursday 1st August 2013 sees the release of HowTheLightGetsIn 2013 video, Is Beauty Back? This debate saw Norwegian video artist and Open Prize 2011 winner Sidsel Christensen on the panel alongside Courtauld scholar and author Julian Stallabrass and eminent art historian Griselda Pollock in a varied and thought-provoking discussion on the merits of ‘the new beautiful’. Chaired by Juliet Gardiner, the debate saw the globe Hall play host to a packed audience at the world’s largest philosophy festival, organised by the Institute of Art and Ideas (IAI) and held in Hay-on-Wye.
The event was sponsored by the Royal Norwegian Embassy and a short teaser is currently available via IAI tv’s channel on Youtube
