ABOUT THE CRITICAL FORUM
The forum is an opportunity for participating artists, curators and visitors to discuss some of the ideas behind their practices and approaches. It is an informal and open format of conversation around the works on show, and builds on the discussions of the past years.

Past Discussion
The Critical Forum in 2007 was particularly intense and rich. Some of the guest speakers are coming back this year to go into more depth on the topics we only just touched upon. Neil Cummings and Chris Meigh-Andrews will counterpoint the discussion about collecting moving image work with an overview of educational archives and of open source philosophy. Not to be missed!
Here you can find a full and faithful transcript of the discussion. Let us know what you think and what you would like to discuss on Sunday 24th May for the 2009 Critical Forum.
Questions for the forum
For 2009 we are going to think about collecting and the moving image. We have many questions around the relationships between artists and collectors, academies and galleries, making, distributing and accessing the work.
We will focus onto hybrid functions and hybrid strategies. We will have invited guest speakers and many of the artists selected.
Keep an eye on this pages - we want to start the conversation here, before meeting you all in the gallery. You can register and contribute to the on line open forum.
