Curators unpack parallel perceptions in terms of East and West, exploring how such projections of difference are absorbed in a local context. Speakers are Zoe Butt, Curator and Director of International Programmes, Long March, Beijing, China; Alistair Hudson, Deputy Director, Grizedale Arts, Cumbria, UK, currently developing an online tv station with artists and a project for the village of Nanling in partnership with Vitamin Creative Space, China; Professor Sarat Maharaj, co-curator of Documenta 11 and of the 2008 Guangzhou Triennial 'Farewell to Post-Colonialism'; and Zhang Wei, Director of Vitamin Creative Space, an innovative space for participatory and experimental art projects in Guangzhou, China. The seminar is a platform for the discussion of ideas feeding into Arnolfini's The Far West (Trading Company) project, taking place in the summer of 2008, which engages with the changing economic relationship between East and West, and the new context for international contemporary art, so as to unpack existing cultural perspectives in the UK specifically. The Far West (Trading Company), is developed in partnership with Long March, Vitamin Creative Space and Relational.
