Into Cosmos Day One
The Presentness of Utopias
Australia / The Netherlands - Germany
At its outset art history sets out to explore the bonds between cosmologies and artistic practice. The interpretation of contemporary art now returns to the question of the spirit of things and belonging in an open world. This day begins by examining the presentness of utopia and living with faith without certitudes.
