To launch issue #17 of Open, Cahier on Art and the Public Domain
"Precarious Constructions. Answer to Jacques Ranciere on Art and Politics". This lecture celebrates the launch of Open # 17, "A Precarious Existence: Vulnerability in the Public Domain". Through a thematic investigation into the changing conditions of public space and through new ideas related to public space, Open aims to make a structural contribution to the development of theories about these subjects and to function as a platform for reflection on socio-cultural and artistic practices.
