Breakout groups at CRUMB/AND/University of Lancaster's 'Real-Time: Showing art in the age of new media' symposium, Liverpool 2009.

The work of artists who use new media art, live art and other ‘variable media’ is increasingly being drawn into our national public collections. Excellent models exist where major works are acquired or where artists are commissioned specifically to create works for collections. This symposium offers an opportunity to learn from pioneering institutions that have worked with artists.

Keynote speaker: Benjamin Weil, Chief Curator of LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial de Gijón, Spain.

Other confirmed speakers include: Laura Sillars, Programmes Director, FACT; Lisa Panting, Director, Picture This; Lois Keidan, Director, Live Art Development Agency; Graham Harwood, artist.
