Overview

In recent years, the art world has seen an increasing number of projects, exhibitions and publications that explore the crossovers between visual arts, theatre and publishing via the Internet. This panel sheds light on the possibilities for a new kind of visual culture by questioning the ways in which interdisciplinarity today can be approached. The discussion will explore the ways in which disciplines are being bridged and how this is manifest, whether a new vocabulary for an expanding discourse needs to be established and how art world structures and strategies should be revisited. This panel will address these issues with a focus on what the current needs are in the MENASA.
