The Villa Arson inaugurates a series of lectures that both support the teaching provided there (practicing and thinking about art constitute one single objective) and aim to engage all audiences.
This series of 8 lectures is marked by plurality.
The presentations by each speaker report on their research, ongoing projects, or initiatives they will be undertaking. This results in a great diversity that reflects the richness of current questioning about art.
So many questions that, conveniently, evoke the current affairs of our world, discuss the choices made, and analyze the ideas circulating within it.
