MULTIPLICATION OF CENTERS AND THE COOL BEAUTY OF A TRIENNIAL IN VILNIUS
|
| To a native born Middle European, nursed in the “heart of Europe,” it will surely seem strange how far the “Center,” to which he automatically indorses himself, can be moved. It seems that a hidden war of “middles” is happening in Europe - cultural, purely optical and also geographical, measured by engineers. Whoever searches finds.

RELATIONAL AESTHETICS (PART 1)
|

RELATIONAL AESTHETICS (PART 3)
|

A work of art has a quality that sets it apart from other things produced by human activities. This quality is its (relative) social transparency, if a work of art is successful, it will invariably set its sights beyond its… |
