Scots and Argentine artists ready to share perspectives

ARTISTS and academics from Argentina and Scotland are set to join forces at a seminar in the Capital.
They will discuss “contem- porary developments in visual culture” at an event jointly organised by Edinburgh and Stirling universities.
Dr Sarah Wilson from Stir- ling University, who is chairing the event, said: “We’ll be look- ing at the relationship of visual art to local communities and broader cultural institutions at a time of uncertainty, debate

and change in both countries. The event is aimed at artists, academics and other interested parties and will feature pres- entations by two speakers – Syd Krochmalny, an artist and sociologist based in Argentina, and Simon Yuill, an artist and media activist based in Glas- gow.
The seminar – Visual Cul- tures in Scotland and Argen- tina: An Interchange – is open to the public at the Chrystal Macmillan Building, in George Square, on Thursday at 5pm.
