Curatorial argument:
“Table Talk” proposed a participatory installation based on a description of the counter-scenario of an intellectualizing discourse on contemporary art education. An archive of interviews, video recordings and conference speeches, displayed in a cluster of screens and speakers fitted on the walls simulated an alternative space for discussion in which philosophers and art theorists overlapped their ideas in a polyphonic trans-narrative. Suggesting students to participate in a creative way, the debate around the table required a personal intervention from the audience in this type of collective discourse, in view of editing, through inserts similar to notebooks and artistic interventions, this time magnified, a collaborative art handbook.
