Afterall is pleased to announce the symposium ‘Artist as Curator’, which will take place on Saturday 10 November 2012 at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, University of the Arts London.

Speakers will discuss projects by Willem de Rooij, Group Material, ruangrupa and Mike Kelley among others. Further case studies include Apt Art and Trekhprudny in Moscow and the Independent Group in the UK.
