Nicola Trezzi’s lecture “Central Peripheries and Peripheral Centers: The New Paradigm”
Friday, June 10, 5 pm
Rauaniidi building
Kotzebue 1/ Põhja pst 7, Tallinn
IN ENGLISH!!
The lecture is held in lieu of the programme of TASE 2016 Degree Show
The lecture will investigate certain developments within the field of contemporary art and its connection to globalization. Following a series of recent events, specific situations and the structure of certain institutions and private identities, this new paradigm reconsiders the dichotomy “center” versus “periphery.”
The lecture takes the field of visual art as a study case, as a way to understand phenomena that go beyond its specificity (art, artists, museums, etc.) allowing a deeper understanding of reality at large.
