The 2017 PARADOX conference is a meeting that offers opportunities to exchange ideas, practices, provocations and research that relate to core themes around issues of diversity in the contemporary landscape of higher education fine art.
Diverse Knowledge, Diverse Ethics, Diverse Means, Diverse Aesthetics.

 

PARADOX is a European Fine Art Network. We are proud to announce that the 2017 conference will take place in London at the Conway Hall, home of the Ethical Society and Library.

 

The "FAR, ABOUT, NEARBY" PARADOX conference is hosted by University of the Arts London, Middlesex University, and NAFAE (the National Association of Fine Art Education). 

 

Building on the success of conferences in Poznan (2015), Granada (2013), Cork (2011) and Palermo (2009) the 2017 Paradox European Fine Art forum biennial conference will take place in Central London. Reflecting on the current social and political climate for artists and educators, and taking its cue from the diversity of its host city, the conference will examine how issues of difference, change, inclusion and prohibition are currently played out within the discipline of Fine Art and education across Europe. Drawing together researchers, educators, students and artists it will explore the issues most at stake within art practice and education, for those who teach and learn.

 

The conference will address a wide range of issues including the challenge of new technologies, austerity agendas, cross-cultural teaching, the impact or desire for diversified demographics and non-hierarchical forms of learning to contemporary fine art education, research and practice and curricula.
