Kate Sutton Talk

 

 

In the Young Painter Prize project frames contemporary writer and art critic Kate Sutton gave a talk entitled "Resurrection Day: Contemporary Art and its Future Visions” at the centre for creative industries “Pakrantė” in Vilnius, Lithuania. K. Sutton was a member of this year’s selection committee for the “Young Painter Prize” - an annual art event dedicated to boost careers of young painters from the Baltic states. The lecture looked into Russian Constructivism and Cosmism to consider how contemporary art imagines the future as a home for our collective past. The lecturer touched on examples ranging from "resurrecting the Fathers," to cloning mammoths, to digital copies of dead actors. Organisers of the “Young Painter Prize” and “Pakrantė” team members would like to thank K. Sutton for sharing her ideas with the public.
