The Cuts Have Been Made

The Cuts Have Been Made: Welcome to the Aesthetic of Capitalistic Vampirism is the title of a panel which will see Lanfranco Aceti in conversation with Bill Balaskas, Mark Fisher and Irini Papadimitriou. The panel will reflect and discuss the recent issue CUT published by the Journal of Visual Culture. The event, chaired by Marquard Smith Editor in Chief of this seminal refereed journal, will analyze the transformations of contemporary societies following a series of enforced financial cuts and the persisting of the economic crisis. The discussion will provide the opportunity to reflect on the role that artists, curators and creatives can play within the re-design of a society characterized by Capitalistic Vampirism. The panel, moderated by Marquard Smith, will analyze and present a variety of approaches, aesthetic and philosophical stances using as starting point CUT, the issue edited by Aceti for the Journal of Visual Culture. Attendance is free and open to all. Room PSH LGO2, Goldsmiths University of London, Friday November 27, 2015, from 3pm to 5pm. http://www.lanfrancoaceti.com/2015/11/the-cuts-have-been-made/
