On Thursday 24 September at 6 p.m., the Contemporary Art Centre (CAC) Reading Room launches \u2018Critical Proximity\u2019, a new series of public lectures, talks and discussions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the Contemporary Art Centre\u2019s public programme, \u2018Critical Proximity\u2019 invites artists, curators, researchers and professionals from other fields to reflect on the themes and discourses that accompany contemporary art. Art is inseparable from the circumstances in which it emerges \u2013 from material conditions and the technologies that permeate everyday life to crisis itself, which has become not a rupture in the flow of history but a permanent condition of the contemporary world. The title alludes to the modernist assumption that critical distance is necessary for perceiving art. With this series, we invite you to choose the path of proximity \u2013 to engage, to understand, to think together, while retaining the critical perspective needed to address important contemporary issues.<\/p>\n

The first \u2018Critical Proximity\u2019 event welcomes Italian curator Luca Lo Pinto<\/strong>, former artistic director of MACRO \u2013 Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome. He will give a talk titled \u2018A few thoughts on artists, museums, exhibition making, free will, boredom and aesthetic pleasure\u2019.<\/p>\n

In his curatorial practice, Luca Lo Pinto explores how exhibition-making can become a tool for creating situations that open up multiple points of entry \u2013 both visual and conceptual. He also examines the potential of such situations to offer a productive response to intellectual and emotional dyslexia. In his talk, the curator will discuss the medium of exhibition-making, focusing on projects he has realised in contemporary art institutions (primarily at MACRO \u2013 Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome) as well as outside institutional contexts.<\/p>\n

The event will be held in English.<\/p>\n

The event is free<\/strong>. Due to limited capacity, we encourage you to arrive a little early to secure a seat in the Reading Room.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":236048,"template":"","categories":[12,10],"tags":[],"ticket-vendor":[],"class_list":["post-236047","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nemokami-renginiai","category-parodos"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
