Pavilhão Julião Sarmento Lisbon

A lecture by Joshua Decter on transgression in art, based on Sarmento's exhibition, exploring the concept in the 21st century.

Full details

Brief Introduction «What do we want from art - and what does art want from us?» A series of 3 lectures by Joshua Decter in partnership with AIR 351 Some Limits of Reason: Can Art be Transgressive? This is the title of an exhibition of painting and sculpture by Sarmento, presented at the Sean Kelly Gallery in New York in 2005. The exhibition explored various notions of transgression, dialoguing with Foucault's reflections on Bataille's concept of transgression. We can consider Sarmento's synthesis of these philosophical concepts as a starting point to think whether, and in what way, art can be transgressive in current (and future) circumstances, as well as to reflect on what «transgression» means in the 21st century.

Show original (Portuguese)

Breve Introdução «O que queremos da arte - E o que é que a arte quer de nós?» Uma série de 3 conferências de autoria de Joshua Decter em parceria com AIR 351 Some Limits of Reason : Pode a Arte ser Transgressiva? Este é o título de uma exposição de pintura e escultura de Sarmento, apresentada na Galeria Sean Kelly, em Nova Iorque, em 2005. A exposição explorou várias noções de transgressão, dialogando com as reflexões de Foucault sobre o conceito de transgressão de Bataille. Podemos considerar a síntese que Sarmento faz destes conceitos filosóficos como ponto de partida para pensar se , e de que modo , a arte pode ser transgressiva nas circunstâncias atuais (e futuras), bem como para refletir sobre o que significa «transgressão» no século XXI.
