Chaired by writer and editor Alexander Provan of the online publication Triple Canopy, this panel explores explore how artists' collectives today are learning from or deviating from previous historical collectives, such as General Idea, Group Material or Art&Language.  Members from three, exciting and diverse contemporary collectives look at how artists' collectives today are enacting local and national politics, and how some of them are using techniques of branding and marketing to define their practices.
