He says, “The way of being of art has changed radically compared with older ages and perhaps changed even deeper than in previous decades. What are the elements that can define this new way of being? What are the standards of institutional and social dimensions of art? This seminar, interdisciplinary character of philosophy, art history and cultural critic, will attempt to outline the latest developments on these issues. Its purpose is to provide participants with a mapping of the questions and ideas that are at the contemporary art, in order to facilitate the approach of the phenomenon both practical and theoretical point of view. ”
