DECLINATION OF CONTEMPORARY ART CRITICISM
INTERNATIONAL MEETING OF STUDIES ON THE STATE OF ART CRITICISM: DYNAMIC UPDATES
The international event will take place from 5 to 6 May in hybrid mode (presence and remote) from 10.00 to 17.00 for both seminar days, at the Salone d’Onore at the Albertina Academy of Fine Arts in Turin and will be a totally free event as envisaged in the principles of the Italian statute, to guarantee in turn with this event an active and participatory involvement of the various sector professionals who, together with the various teachers and students, will also be able to deepen the evolutionary dynamics of the current state of the art criticism with in-depth analysis of the works and artists in the evolution of cultural contents concerning the visual arts in all branches involving sculpture, painting, architecture, generative arts, Street Art, Public Art.
The conference debate will have the critical and scientific interest in identifying “new interpretations” in order to explore the new expressive phenomena of contemporary art by democratically balancing the new expressive needs of art and artists between the fluid themes that concern the “preservation of the asset” and the consequent dynamics for its enhancement, reasoning on the ethics of expressive languages and on the cultural and social problems that lead to the birth of a specific visual concept.
