Alice Flight, drawings from Portsmouth Cafe Artistique, 11 June 2008

Guest speaker: Cathy Lomax / Artist-in-residence: Alice Flight

Discussion

Complementing a conference on the same day which looked at the business of measuring creativity, guest speaker Cathy Lomax gave a practical insight. As director of the Transition Gallery in East London, and with first-hand experience of Saatchi, Lomax is familiar with measuring, and responding to, successes and failings in the artworld. How can commerce and integrity be balanced?

Listen to Cathy Lomax's comments, which touched on ideals and real practicalities.

Artist-in-Residence

Alice Flight's irreverent approach makes use of interruptions, stickers, treasure trails, photography, and all manner of media, to question the authenticity of experience. A perfect foil, perhaps, for the evening's debate.
