By choosing the undecidable as the starting point for a reflection on contermporary art, this publication intends to propose a new—or critical—perspective on art, the object, its relationship to the world and contemporary reality, the aesthetic experience, ethics and politics.
By choosing the undecidable as the starting point for a reflection on contermporary art, this publication intends to propose a new—or critical—perspective on art, the object, its relationship to the world and contemporary reality, the aesthetic experience, ethics and politics. In this case, the notion of undecidable describes a multiplicity of borderline zones obliterating the limits between art and non-art, the artist and the notion of object, fiction and reality, truth and falsehood, aesthetic and political positions.
