CAPC musée d’art
contemporain de Bordeaux
Entrepôt. 7, rue Ferrère
F-33000 Bordeaux, France
The CAPC is hosting a one-year symposium titled Think … And See. Conceived by French philosopher, writer and scholar Francois Cusset, this time-capsule symposium will deal with the themes of intensity, 21st-century memory, brain and plasticity, gender and sex, the infinity of debt, and vulnerability, notably in the post-internet era.
This seminar is the first step in the CAPC’s endeavor to establish a study site where a radical acceptance of the terms and conditions of the production of critique does not undermine them, but feeds their articulation. The second step will be a publication featuring every contribution.
