Improbable futures forum I
Post-institutional practices: new
collaborations
Please join us as Walter
Langelaar, Netherlands-born, Wellington-based artist and
sub-cultural activist chairs the first of three forums
organised in association with the Adam Art Gallery’s
The Tomorrow People exhibition, in which artists and
organisers discuss the potential and challenges of
non-institutional artist-led activities that posit new forms
of collectivity and new platforms for practice. This forum
is a partnership with the Cultivating Creative Capital theme
at Victoria University.
Langelaar's work in media arts and
design ranges from artistic videogame modification to
critical reflections on Internet technology and culture. His
installations and collaborative online projects have been
shown in numerous venues, galleries and festivals like
Transmediale and CTM, Jeu de Paume, WORM, the Hammer Museum,
DEAF, Ars Electronica, NiMK/Montevideo, Babycastles NYC,
iMAL and Medialab Prado. Walter is Programme Director of
Media Design at Victoria University of Wellington's School
of
Design.
