David Green =========== >From: "Rebecca McKenna" <[log in to unmask]> >To: <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: NAJP's Free Expression & the Arts conference >Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2002 10:26:02 -0400 NATIONAL ARTS JOURNALISM PROGRAM TO HOST NOV. 20-21 CONFERENCE ON ISSUES OF FREE EXPRESSION IN THE ARTS Disputes about free expression in the arts have always loomed as struggles between creativity and repression, transgression and outrage, candor and hypocrisy. From "Lady Chatterley's Lover" to Andres Serrano's "Piss Christ," the sequence has been predictable: Scandalized citizens, religious leaders or politicians fire an opening salvo of protest or funding cuts. Then artists, invoking the muses and the First Amendment, fire back, accusing their accusers of obtuseness and mindless censorship. While high-profile shootouts at art museums and less visible skirmishes at libraries and theaters persist, overt censorship is no longer the only, or the most dire, threat to free expression. The current terrain bears little resemblance to the "culture war" battlegrounds of a decade ago, much less to what the First Amendment's framers could have imagined. The NAJP will address this ever-shifting terrain in "The New Gatekeepers: A Conference on Free Expression in the Arts," Nov. 20 and 21 at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. The conference will bring together a cross-disciplinary group of participants -- artists, technologists, media executives, lawmakers, museum curators, theater producers, legal experts, government regulators, free-speech advocates, and of course journalists -- to explore the shifting frontiers of free-expression in the arts and search for workable solutions for the future. http://www.najp.org/conferences/gatekeepers/panels.htm Speakers Include: Cass Sunstein, professor of law, University of Chicago Rochelle Gurstein, author, "The Repeal of Reticence" Marjorie Heins, author and director, Free Expression Policy Project Louis Menand, author, "The Metaphysical Club"; and professor, Graduate Center, City University of New York Amy Adler, professor of law, Columbia University; Carol Becker, dean, School of the Art Institute of Chicago; Breck Rice, founder and chief operating officer, MovieMask Peggy Ahwesh, media artist and filmmaker; Max Anderson, director, Whitney Museum and president, Association of Art Museum Directors; Roberto Bedoya, arts consultant; Marian Godfrey, director, Culture Programs, The Pew Charitable Trusts; Saralyn Reece Hardy, director/curator, Salina Art Center and Cinema; Timothy McClimon, executive director, AT&T Foundation Neal Gabler, journalist; Douglas Rushkoff, journalist; Jennifer Toomey, musician and executive director, Future of Music Coalition Charles Mann, contributing editor, The Atlantic Monthly; Richard Masur, actor and former president, Screen Actors Guild; Gigi Sohn, president, Public Knowledge; Siva Vaidhyanathan, author and assistant professor, New York University Allan Adler, vice president for government and legal affairs, American Association of Booksellers; Barbara Hoffman, art lawyer; Beryl Howell, senior counselor to the chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee; Wendy Seltzer, founder, The Chilling Effects Clearinghouse, Harvard University Paul DiMaggio, director of cultural policy studies, Princeton University; Cathleen McGuigan, senior cultural affairs editor, Newsweek; David Resnicow, president and founder, Resnicow Schroeder Associates; Danyel Smith, author and former editor in chief, Vibe ============================================================== NINCH-Announce is an announcement listserv, produced by the National Initiative for a Networked Cultural Heritage (NINCH).
