DESCRIPTION:Art as Commodity, Art as Culture:\nA Contradiction We All Have to Deal 
 With\nSpeakers: Will Bradley, Jordan Kantor\n\nSeries:\nThe New New 
 Masses\nDiscussions About Art and Politics\n\nLocation\nSan Francisco Art 
 Institute Café\n800 Chestnut Street\nSan Francisco, CA 94133\n\nOctober 13 
 at 7:00pm\nfree and open to the public\n\n\nArtists are producers of both 
 commodities and cultural artifacts—how does one affect the other? What 
 strategies have artists employed to make art that satisfies their need to 
 bite the hand that feeds them? Political art can become chic, but does it 
 remain sharp? How does the art market shape art? These tensions have been 
 observed and experienced for centuries, but they continue to exist and 
 evolve—we want to promote a discussion about the current incarnations and 
 strategies that artists employ to navigate this terrain.\n\nWill Bradley is 
 a visiting Professor at the California College of the Arts in San 
 Francisco. He co-founded the Modern Institute in Glasgow and writes for 
 Frieze, Afterall, and Metropolis. He has curated many exhibitions including 
 My Head is on Fire but my Heart is Full of Love at Charlottenborg, 
 Copenhagen, and Pyramids of Mars at the Barbican, London. Bradley is 
 currently working on an anthology of essays and artists’ writings, Art 
 and Social Change—1871 to the Present, for Afterall books, and editing a 
 book entitled Self Organisation/Counter-Economic Strategies in 
 collaboration with the Danish artist group Superflex. He has curated two 
 exhibitions for the Wattis Institute for Contemporary Art in San Francisco: 
 Radical Software; and How to Build a Universe That Doesn’t Fall Apart Two 
 Days Later, which opens in November 2006.\n\nJordan Kantor is an artist and 
 Associate Professor at California College of the Arts, where he teaches 
 both art practice and theory. He has written extensively on contemporary 
 art, and is a frequent contributor to Artforum.\n
