Readings of the formless. Rosalind Krauss and Georges Didi-Huberman
(Lithos 2014) by Andrea D’Ammando and Matteo Spadoni
Book presentation
For just over 35 years, the notion of the unformed, as proposed by Georges Bataille, has made inroads in art theory, criticism and history texts. For Bataille the formless is that which cannot be reduced to form, “like spittle, a spider, a worm”, it does not designate essences, but processes, it is a term that more of a function than a meaning.

La oveja negra
by Regina Josè Galindo
Presentation of the video
This video is based on the performance by the artist during the RAVE 2014 residence, the first residence to open up discussion on the role and responsibility of contemporary art with regard to animal difference. In La oveja negra, Galindo, who in her performances has always tackled the pain of those who are reduced to silence and oblivion by those in power, gives back a voice to the last par excellence: animals.
The video Inside the Circle made by Adrian Paci during RAVE 2011 will also be screened during the seminar.
