Affect and Aesthetics of Space and Place | 20 Questions for 20 Years

About the Weekend:

In DS4SI’s Aesthetic Justice Manifesto, we declare that we all have the “right to be moved” through aesthetic experiences. Tiago Gualberto will bring his insights and shared questions about the enclosing of contemporary art to formal spaces and how the techniques of multiple approaches to aesthetics in and of place can be brought to bear in public.
