In this session, four practitioners, all involved with artistic and institutional practice, will bring their thoughts, confusions and concerns about considering the contemporary not merely as a series of global problems calling for solutions, but rather a general transvaluation of everything we thought we knew, reconfiguring the messiness of doing and living.
