Is art to be understood as a philosophically acting entity – a brand of modernism that is revolutionary and perpetually unfinished – for which a public still has to be invented? Or will art only be encouraged, supported, and recognised if it does justice to prescribed criteria and merely «supplies» a culture industry? The consequence would be that important projects – projects difficult to grasp, «incomprehensible» by nature – would fall through the net of funding structures and media.

An open evening event as part of the conference «radius of art». Conceptualised by: Jürgen Bock (Lisbon).
