The Future Symposium: Presentation by James Bridle

The Future Symposium took place at the Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow on Saturday 22 June 2013 and accompanied the exhibition 'Jerwood/Film and Video Umbrella Awards, Tomorrow Never Knows: Ed Atkins and Naheed Raza'. The day-long symposium saw presentations from music commentators Simon Reynolds and Paul Morley, as well as artists and critics Olia Lialina, James Bridle and Sarah Lowndes. Speakers considered the wider topic of ‘the future’ and how our contemporary conception of it might differ from other stand-out moments in the not-too-distant past.
