Dissemination of free and lively thought

The Fondation Musée d'Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean is pleased to invite you to the second session in its series of discussions 'Conversations', a project of its prefiguration programme.

Those taking part in this second get-together are Wim Delvoye, Michel Onfray and Dolorès Oscari. They will examine the role of teachers and artists in education and in the application and dissemination of free and lively thought.

Funny, provocative, often working on the principle of opposites, artist Wim Delvoye's work subscribes to a certain Belgian tradition. Under an apparently playful exterior his work bears the deep imprint of reflection on the human condition and vanity. The body is the subject of numerous projects where Delvoye flirts with the mundane and with so-called 'low' culture, with the juxtaposition of opposites, poles apart as much in their appearance as in their content and interpretation.

Doctor of Philosophy and author, Michel Onfray taught the final years in a Technical High School in Caen from 1983 to 2002 when he resigned to set up a free college, or rather establish a People's University. He has published some twenty works putting forward the theory of hedonism, exploring issues as: to what extent the body is, philosophically speaking, the object of preference' How do artists think' How can morality be applied to aesthetics' In an entire society dominated by Apollo where does Dionysus fit in' What is the relationship between moral hedonism and political anarchy' The answers given assume the straying of the wayward body, libertarian morality, sensual materialism, jubilant utilitarianism, theoretical aesthetics, claimed subjectivity.

Dolorès Oscari is from the world of theatre. She wings from out of the ordinary to extraordinary experiences, from Brussels to Havana. In 1990 a change of direction took her to 'Première', one of RTBF's radio stations, presenting a daily chat show called 'Rencontre' (Encounter). Since the spring of 1998 she is the designer, editor and also presents RTBF's television literary magazine 'Si j'ose écrire' (Dare I write).

'Conversation 02' will be held on Thursday 6th February 2003 at 7pm in the Maison Schoetter belonging to Banque Générale du Luxembourg (entrance on the corner of Boulevard Royal and rue Notre-Dame, Luxembourg).
Conversation 02 will be held in French.
