From local to planetary: changing the way of life
Gilles Clément in dialogue with Civic Movement R-Urban /
27 July 2021, 6 pm
Casa Filipescu-Cesianu, Calea Victoriei 151, Bucharest
“As planetary gardeners, we depend on all the biological diversity that we harness for a living. We must preserve it to ensure a future. What kind of model do we want to develop, to allow both the exploitation of diversity for the benefit of an expanding world population, and the preservation, in quality and quantity terms, of that diversity on which we depend? We must respond to this question as quickly as possible if we are not to succumb to the inevitability of irreversible forces of destruction, but rather to develop in every conceivable field a mental territory of optimism – a garden.” (Gilles Clément, 2021)

The Art of Activism and the Activism of Art
FEINART Lecture Series with Gregory Sholette, Artist, Activist, Writer /
19.03.2021 – starting at 5:00pm CET
In the frame of the FEINART lecture series the author Gregory Sholette approaches his subject from the unusual dual perspective of commentator (as scholar and writer) and insider (as activist artist). He describes a new wave of activist art taking place not only within community-based protest groups, as it has for decades, but also amongst professionally trained, MFA-bearing art practitioners, many of whom, by choice or by circumstance, refuse to respect the conventional borders separating painting from protest, or art from utility.
