In the realm where philosophy meets art, a profound exploration awaits us. On Sunday, December 17, 2023, at 12:30 CET, the MoCA Skopje – Museum of Contemporary Art will be hosting a captivating public lecture by the esteemed Dr. Rick Dolphijn. This event promises to be an enlightening journey into the world of Les Immatériaux and the transformative impact it has had on our understanding of contemporary art.
The Groundbreaking Exhibition: Les Immatériaux In the mid-1980s, philosopher Jean François Lyotard co-curated a groundbreaking exhibition that would change the course of contemporary art history – Les Immatériaux. This avant-garde showcase not only challenged traditional notions of art but also heralded a paradigm shift in the role of curators.
Dr. Rick Dolphijn: A Transdisciplinary Visionary Our guide through this intellectual journey is Dr. Rick Dolphijn, an associate professor at Media and Culture Studies. His interests span across continental philosophy, posthumanism, new materialism, material culture, and ecology. With a wealth of publications and academic contributions, Dr. Dolphijn is a leading figure in transdisciplinary research.
The Exhibition That Thinks: Shaping the World-to-Come Les Immatériaux introduced the concept of "the exhibition that thinks." It envisioned a world-to-come and took responsibility for exploring it. This innovative approach has left an indelible mark, shaping how exhibitions today engage with their political potential.
