Description
Thinking Worlds brings together contributions from a two-stage
symposium organized in conjunction with the second Moscow Biennial
of Contemporary Art. The thirteen essays included here look at
theoretical issues within the field of contemporary art. What is the role
of the -event- in this culture? Are artistic interventions politically
significant? What is the current status of philosophy and aesthetic
theory? And in this era of global political change and market forces in
which art is widely considered to be a part of the society of spectacle,
what is the actual status of art and its critical discourses? Contributors
include Giorgio Agamben, Daniel Birnbaum and Molly Nesbit.
