We are closing the Topsham Art Festival celebrating 60 years of Topsham Art Group, with a talk by Susie Hodge, art historian and author. Over the past six decades, art has undergone a remarkable transformation. From the challenges posed by Pop and Conceptual art in the 1960s to todays installations, performances and digital works, artists have continually redefined what art can be and what it can do. The result is a rich but sometimes bewildering landscape that raises urgent questions about identity, politics, technology and the future. Susie Hodge will explore how contemporary art has developed over the last 60 years and will offer practical ways to look at and understand it. She will then be joined by local artist Hannah Woodman to discuss where art might be heading next and what it means for viewers today.
