This intellectual invitation to rethink the social and economic conditions of art by questioning
conceptions inherited from the twentieth century seeks to present the artworld – as well as the
political and intellectual worlds – with two forceful proposals, developed by two European thinkers,
whether they be artists, critics, curators, philosophers, sociologists, economists, jurists, etc.
*For this first European competition of essays on art, the proposed theme covers the field of the visual arts.
Texts (three pages) may be submitted in French, English or Dutch
Submission deadline: 5 November 2008
