Enchanted Objects: Agency in the Magic Act and Contemporary Art Practice

Visual Art
Thurs 7th Oct 12-1pm
Venue: Bishop Otter Campus: Room LO6
Free admission

He will draw upon Alfred Gell’s theory of art and agency, in which an artwork is treated as a particular, cognitively salient kind of agent, through which the agency of a social other can be inferred.
