Members and friends, you’re invited to join us on a lecture by artist Suje Garcia who will speak to us about the emergence of performance, installation and video art which are often enclosed under the term ‘new media art’

These new forms of artistic expression have been viewed during the past century as avant-garde instances carried by various artists who have been thought to have pushed the limits of culture and aesthetic experience. The lecture will introduce material that has been pulled from several sources and will briefly describe part of the general discourse surrounding topics of new media art. We will begin by imagining not only representations of the figure in art but rather, the figure and the space it occupies as, a potential for art

This will be the first of three public lectures hosted at the National Gallery as part of the activities of ‘Metascape’ workshop, which is now gathering 14 artists, who will work collectively on creating artworks for ‘Metascape’ exhibition.
