'Thinking Contemporary Art, Curating Contemporaneity'
Series of lections on problems of the contemporary art theory.
First lection
"If we understand "the contemporary" as pointing to a
multiplicity of ways of being in time--in particular, to awareness
of what is it to be in the present whilst being alert to the
"presence" of other kinds of time, including timelessness--it is
obvious that this is not just a current but also a modern and
indeed an ancient concept, one that has been deployed in a variety
of ways within and between cultures and over time. Nevertheless,
the contemporary pervasiveness of idea of "the contemporary" in
public speech, political discourse, cultural analysis, critical
theory and in arts practice seems to have some distinctive
qualities that go beyond sheer quantitative predominance." T.
Smith.
