All are welcome. Free general admission; no reserved seating. 

This symposium brings together artists and scholars to explore the themes of artists  belief and prediction in economic models, precarious labour, illicit and marginalized markets and other concerns through an interdisciplinary lens. Artists-in-residence Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby – whose work explores juridical, financial and spatial constructs through notions of the performative and the virtual – are visiting the Belkin in advance of the project. They will be joined by Geoff Mann, author of Disassembly Required: A Field Guide to Actually Existing Capitalism and artist Marianne Nicolson, whose current research looks at an early experiment with capitalism on the part of the Kwakwaka’wakw people of the Northwest Coast in collaboration with “Boston men” (Americans) for markets in China. The symposium will be moderated by Jaleh Mansoor, UBC Department of Art History, Visual Art and Theory.
