Award winning artist and photographer Edmund Clark will discuss the issues facing artists who make work about contemporary issues that are hard to see. He will refer to existing and new bodies of work to illustrate the development of original aesthetic strategies to explore (counter) narratives about situations conditioned by censorship, secrecy or denial, shaped by stereotypical public messaging, or concerning sensitive or contentious subjects and protagonists. In doing so he will show how systems of power and control are present in his work and will be showcased in his new book Cosmopolemos.
