Vector – art and culture in context (2/2006)

The 2^nd issue of “Vector – art and culture in context” magazine is continuing to present initiatives for building and networking contexts, focusing on different projects for the collective assuming of cultural exchange, documentation and organizing events in order to reflect the local specificities related to the representations of the dominant art system. Invited to participate in the frame of documenta 12 magazine project, Vector magazine is proposing a series of answers to the question “Is modernity our antiquity?”, on one hand through a discursive reflection, and on the other hand through visual analyses.

The interest for the theoretical and critical positioning in relation to the reception of the recent cultural practices and production changes motivated the opening of Critical Condition dossier, which will analyze the situation of the edification process regarding the ability of the discourse to reshape the decisional field.
