SCHOOL OF LIFE - things we don't learn in school
An Ongoing RW talk
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
A series of intimate discussions with artists, writers and special guests.
Throughout the months of March and April 2012 we have wished to address the intrinsic relations between the quotidian, the inner self and more abstract realms as ethics, politics and aesthetics.
Our recurrent questions, through the last months, have often concerned the constant friction between the inner self and the theoretical, professional and artistic practices that describe and inscribe us in daily life. In a concealed veil the everyday embraces an ever-changing map of one’s life – with its detours, mountains and rivers, memories and historical developments.
How does it feel like to navigate within those?
Throughout the years many attempts have been made to connect the pleasures and frustrations of the quotidian to the practice of intellectual and artistic thinking. We have come together at Rongwrong to explore topics as diverse as: facing the coming of old age, visually representing one’s own life, struggling between fiction and reality…
We discuss these matters together with you in a modest attempt to approach the quotidian within the political, the poetical and the performative aspects of life.
Our Guests in 2012: Franco Berardi (Bifo), A.A. Bronson, Cathy Haynes, Vincenzo Latronico,Louwrien Wijers, Banu Cennetoglu and Philippine Hoegen, Jennifer Teets and Paolo Thorsen-Nagel.
