商品描述

On the potential regeneration of democracy: how artists can work toward a sense of collective relevance required to face the future's dark challenges.

People often ask themselves what exhibitions are for. The obvious answer is to see art--but they are also tools to help us regenerate our social fabric. Observing artworks in a given context can heighten our awareness of the ways in which we perceive the world more generally. In challenging and depressing times, especially, art experiences offer the possibility of finding a language and a voice to articulate increasingly scarce causes for optimism. Published on the occasion of the 36th Ljubljana Biennale of Graphic Arts, The Oracle examines the ways in which art and culture can play a key role in the regeneration of democracy--toward a new sense of individual and collective freedom, of relevance and agency, and of belonging and loyalty to the values that we need to live in peace.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

關於民主潛在重生的可能性:藝術家如何朝向面對未來黑暗挑戰所需的集體相關性感覺努力。

人們常常問自己展覽的目的何在。顯而易見的答案是欣賞藝術——但它們也是幫助我們重建社會結構的工具。在特定的背景下觀察藝術作品,可以提高我們對世界的感知方式的認識。尤其在挑戰和沮喪的時期,藝術體驗提供了找到語言和聲音的可能性,以表達日益稀缺的樂觀理由。這本書在第36屆盧布爾雅那平面藝術雙年展之際出版,The Oracle 探討了藝術和文化如何在民主重生中發揮關鍵作用——朝向新的個人和集體自由、相關性和主動性,以及對我們需要和平生活的價值觀的歸屬感和忠誠感。
