Corporate
Personae at SPACE Gallery
Wednesday 30th May, 6 – 9pm
A seminar on corporate social responsibility and the role artists and activists, such as Platform and Alasdair Hopwood’s With, play in “identity correction” and interrogating the activities of big business. Can business ever balance public good with corporate wealth, or does the balance sheet always win? How do corporations use concepts of “healthy”, “normal”, “good for us” to market pharmaceuticals and therapies? How do artists critique and challenge the process of big-business PR? Speakers included Dan Gretton from www.platformlondon.org, Felicity Mukherjee from NFHC International Inc, Alasdair Hopwood from www.withyou.co.uk, social anthropologist David Leitner from Cambridge, and artist Lucy Panesar (me). www.artscatalyst.org and www.scansite.org
