WORKSHOP ON CRITICAL WRITING
ON MEDIATION/4 & ARTS SANTA MÒNICA
May 2017
We are starting a new project within the framework of On Mediation. Training seminar on curatorial theories and practices, focused on a Workshop on Critical Writing. This workshop will underscore the paradoxical nature of critical activity as a new mediation process. Under this point of view, we understand critical writing in the interspaces between visuality and verbality, between interpretation and judgement, between theory and empiricism, between subjectivity and normativity.
Director: Anna Maria Guasch
Coordination: Rosa A. Cruz + Olga Sureda.
Organization: Universitat de Barcelona i Arts Santa Mònica.
With the support of ARTS SANTA MÒNICA.
