Ongoing feedback and peer support for one’s work can be an integral part of maintaining a relevant creative practice. How do artists maintain connections with one another, and build new ones, post-graduation, particularly if they are no longer affiliated with an academic institution?

This panel will focus on these subjects, addressing connections between art, identity, and social class; contingent labor and economic precarity; and related concerns for those entering, navigating, and defining a professional practice in the arts.

Edge of Being is a hybrid-lecture-performance and presentation featuring provocations by artists Laura Hyunjhee Kim, Ryan Wurst, Melanie Clemmons, Zak Loyd who bend new media tools as a medium to situate hypermediated bodies in virtually simulated environments. From fantastical reimaginings to phantasmagoric envisionings of embodiment that oscillate between the virtual and physical, kinesthetic experiences brought forth by the situated absence and presence of synthetic bodies heighten the evocative metaphysical nature of posthuman experiences. Intermingling corporeal sensations with emergent forms of expression, the projects in conversation transcend the repertoire of ready-made digital platforms and uncannily resonate beyond the edges of the screen. In this experimental engagement, the participating artists will take each other’s ideas and projects out for a virtual walk, a departure point for visitors to ponder what it feelosophically means to sense the world as transient screen-based-beings of the now.

Creative Legacies: Preparing Artists for the Future

How does an artist plan their legacy?

Will your work be archived, stored, maintained, donated and conserved? Will you turn your studio or home into a study center? Will there be finances in place to ensure your work and property are protected? Who will you leave in charge of your artistic legacy? How can you and your heirs benefit from forward planning?

This workshop will focus on those often overlooked nuances of legacy planning for artists. Our presentation will begin with short case studies which have been a result of our working with living artists as well as estates, heirs, and executors. We will then move on to discuss the legal (including IP), financial, material, promotional, and scholarly issues that an artist should consider when planning for the future of their creative legacy. We will introduce the various free resources available through organizations, websites and publications as well as when you need to consult professional or legal counsel.

A significant portion of the session’s time will be set aside to address the participants questions and special scenarios such as how does one deal with non-traditional materials, digital media, performance, licensing and copyright.
