Commonism－A New Aesthetics of the Real
Date: 2019.12.18~12.19, 13:30~16:30
Venue: Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts, TNUA
Lecturer: Pascal Gielen
Introduction
Following half a century of neoliberalism, there appears to be a new ideology in the making, called “commonism”. In his lecture, sociologist Pascal Gielen attempts to map these new ideological notions through examples and artistic practices, as well as critical reflection. How are the commons constituted in society? How do they shape the reality of our living together? What strategies and aesthetics do commoners adopt? Is there an alternative and more just future imaginable through the political ideology of the commons? Commonism claims to be better aligned with the ecological and social reality of today than capitalism. Perhaps it is also closer to how social relationships actually function. Gielen will counter-position the abstract aesthetics of capitalism by this of the commons which he describes as an aesthetics of ‘assemblage’.
