A group of eight emerging South Australian artists have been chosen by the Helpmann Academy for the Visual & Performing Arts to take part in a workshop with Dutch-Australian media theorist, activist and critic Dr Geert Lovink during the Adelaide Festival 2010.
During the 2010 Adelaide Festival of Arts, Dr Lovink will deliver one of the keynote lectures during the Artists' Week symposium. Dr Lovink will also offer a two-day intensive workshop for a limited group of emerging artists exploring key themes from his work. Topics include the politics of the Internet, social networking platforms, online activism and modes of collaboration.
The workshops are set to take place on Tuesday March 2nd and Wednesday March 3rd.
Emerging artists selected to take part include Melissa Connor, Polly Dance, Maarten Daudeij, Lisa Harms, Jo Kerlogue, Monte Lawson-Masi and Logan McDonald from the South Australian School of Art, as well as Jemima Kemp and Sam Songailo.
