In Negotiation
Saturdays 7th and 14th June 11am

The In Negotiation discussion series was started in 2005 by James Porter and Colin Glen as a response to setting up a project space in a shop on the outskirts of Stroud. It was conceived as a creative and critical approach to negotiating difference of opinion with regard to issues of production in art practice. Dominic Thomas and Colin Glen continued the series throughout the site festival in 2006 and 2007, holding discussions where artists with differing backgrounds, ways of working and value systems came together to negotiate their conflicting positions.

In Negotiation aims to encourage and facilitate peer discussion amongst artists and arts professionals on issues of theory and practice in their work in order to create a forum of frank and beneficial exchange. For site08 In Negotiation invites participants to bring an issue for open discussion. The events will then be structured to accommodate the range of topics that emerge. It is intended that a lively and entertaining exchange can be accommodated.
