This panel looks at the ‘commons’, a concept that has gained attention in recent debates on online culture, as well as cultural production more generally. In its original meaning, the term ‘commons’ refers to land that is open for collective use. In today’s art world, the commons is often used in reference to spaces and practices that are shared by groups aiming to resist commodification and forge an existence outside the capital-driven art market.

Chaired by curator Helen Kaplinsky, speakers on this panel discussion are artists Stephan Dillemuth, Metahaven, Eleanor Saitta and Julia Tcharfas.
