Dublin European Institute & University College Dublin will host, in association with the Slovenian Embassy, an international conference on the theme of Art and Politics: The Imagination of Opposition in Europe - April 29 to 30, 2004.

We look forward, with an international panel of artists, art historians, critics, academics and arts professionals, to comparing and contrasting the European experience of art’s intersection of politics. A key case study of this conference will be the example of Slovenia’s, Neue Slowenische Kunst. This collective project, starting from 1980, is an important starting point for analyses of how art and artists react and interact with different political hegemonies – underlying shared and differentiated experiences in both contemporary and historical Europe.

While the programme is being finalised, panellists thus far confirmed include: Judith Devlin, Bojana Kunst, Marina Grzinic Mauhler, Paula Murphy, Misko Suvakovic and Alexei Monroe. The conference registration fee is just €25 for professionals and €10 at a concessionary rate – including students.
