  • il y a 13 ans
Friday, February 4th | 6:30pm | Round-table | The New School - Theresa Lang Center
With: Brody Condon, Elie During, Patrice Maniglier, McKenzie Wark
Hosted by: Robert Polito
Co-presented with the Writing Program at the New School

Art produces metaphysics in the sense that it creates perplexity towards objects or situations that we consider common or trivial. This perplexity allows us to ask again essential questions like: How do things fit together in space and in time? Is it possible to have a perspective on time? How is a relationship consolidated? When does an event begin? This connection between aesthetics and metaphysics is inspiring a new generation of philosophers in France like Elie During and Patrice Maniglier. They will be in discussion with media theorist McKenzie Wark and artist Brody Condon.
