As an integral part of BLOW-UP by City of Art, this academic seminar provides a space for in-depth discussion of the project’s central themes and critical assumptions. Bringing together a panel of academics and practitioners, and moderated by Maria Theuma, the seminar invites dialogue across disciplines and perspectives.
The seminar also marks the official launch of the BLOW-UP catalogue, the publication accompanying the interdisciplinary exhibition at Spazju Kreattiv.
Structured in two parts, the catalogue offers both a visual survey and a discursive reflection: a richly illustrated record of works featured in the exhibition, including photography, cinema, performance, fashion, music, and archival material alongside a collection of original writings by local and international contributors. Artists, scholars, and curators each reflect on a concept, figure, artefact, or cultural phenomenon resonant with the project’s wider concerns.
More than a companion to the exhibition, the BLOW-UP publication serves as a platform for interdisciplinary thinking across eras and mediums. Moving between the cultural ferment of the 1960s and contemporary questions of visibility, power, and mediated experience, it offers a lens on how we see, and how we are seen, today.
