ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

How to tackle the problem of “time” in the practice of contemporary art? And, what is the gain if we claim that the present age of contemporary art is “the time of contemporary art”? The speaker shall deliberate on his renowned term “the aesthetic regime” to explicate, with eloquence as usual, what is going to follow in contemporary art from which he says politics seeks refuge.
