Theme: Art as an event.
Map of the meaning of contemporary aesthetics, politics and art, from the point of view of a visual and conceptual imagination.
1. The aesthetic experience as a gesture of ongoing creation of senses
1.1. History, childhood and narration.
2. The event of the silence and the look
2.1. The rhythm of the look. Rhythm, form and silence: “the form in formation”. Rhythm, a way of showing what shows: a form of the world. “To make of presence an act”: birth and death as inexpressible rupture.
3. Dispersion of the aesthetic experience in contemporaneity
3.1. The cut, the discontinuous, the fragment and the ephemeral.
4. Art as a way of resilience and insubmission
4.1. The relation between aesthetics and politics: body, archive and testimony.
4.2. Between presence and representation: power, image, art.
4.3. The inclusion of time in an image: disappearing, memory, forgetfulness.
