MAPBM presents 'Listen Carefully: The thorny ethics of site-responsive art' with Andrew Belletty

MAPBM is very pleased to present Listen Carefully: The thorny ethics of site-responsive art with Andrew Belletty, RoseyRavelson Books Lawson at 6:00pm on Wednesday 27 November 2024

Andrew Belletty, an Indian-born Australian artist and researcher based in the Blue Mountains, will present two recent Darwin-based projects. These initiatives address the town's declining social fabric, particularly among disengaged youth. Belletty's work demonstrates how carefully designed listening interventions can foster empathy and meaningful engagement. His approach is influenced by his upbringing in Darwin's tropical environment and extensive experience in cinematic sound design within diverse cultural contexts.

This session is open to the public as well as MAPBM Members, but book early as places are limited. This will be a fascinating presentation relevant to everyone involved in contemporary art, but in particular to artists involved in making site-responsive work. Your ticket price includes a donation towards one free drink at the seminar.

Host: Modern Art Projects Blue Mountains (MAPBM) is a not-for-profit incorporated association that supports contemporary, multi-form art in the Blue Mountains. MAPBM also aims to foster an independent environment that supports the development and practice of contemporary artists and curators and to engage with the wider community in developing a new critical agenda for contemporary art. This is the second in an occasional seminar series that MAPBM is commencing in 2024.
