For 2024, Artspace Aotearoa explores the question “do I need territory?” As an artist-led, artist-forward organisation they begin the exploration of this question by examining constitutive elements of (the) artworlds. What are the economies and processes that produce these worlds, and in which ways have artists and artworks contributed to discussions around self-determination, agency, and participation across modern and late capitalist paradigms. What is the in and the out of it?

This symposium explores the zones of the artworld(s) by presenting a variety of positions from across the motu spanning artistic practice; collection politics; and the productions of art history. Speakers will present from their unique experience, covering conversation to case study. Featuring contributions from Melanie Tangere Baldwin, Christina Barton, Natasha Conland, Ngahuia Harrison, Sarah Hopkinson, Peter Robinson and more.

This symposium is a Chartwell 50th Anniversary 2024 Project.
