“Freedom. That’s the only possession an artist has — freedom to do whatever you can imagine.” - Philip Guston
ABOUT THE SEMINARS:
Are you sure to be free? is a couple of seminars that investigates the free will by mean of philosophical tools. Matteo Cresti will guide us into one of the greatest philosophical troubles that we find deeply entangled with many other problematic concepts such as materialism, causality, action, mind, and good. The first reading group will be about the history of argumentative forms for/against free will. In the second reading group we will face the question about how the development of neurosciences might have an impact to the accounts of free will.
If you are curious to discuss about these questions, write to (associazioneinaudita@gmail.com) and we will send you the texts for the seminar.
NOTE: The seminar will be held in English.
ABOUT THE PROJECT:
FUSION AIR - ARBITRIUM RESIDENCY PROJECT, curated by Associazione Inaudita, hosts REBEKKA KRAFT (Germany), DANICA OLDERS (Canada), SILVI KADILLARI (Australia/Albania). Three artists interested in studying, analyzing, and researching the topic "FREE WILL" with the goal of producing a body of work, exhibition, catalogue/book and creating a network of exchange of knowledge.
“Free Will” is a philosophical term that is referred to a particular “capacity” of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. Free will is a relevant topic for our life because it is connected with our values, desires, appetites, commitments and believes. In our routine we have the intuition to choose what we do and what we want, even if it is not always achievable, but in the end are we sure to be free? Seeing all our social, political, affective, psychological, neurobiological, physical constraints it could seem impossible to speak about free will but after all some questions continues to buzz in our heads. Do our restraints accomplish us from the responsibility of the choice? Is free will an issue that we are not able to eliminate from our experience even if it might be an illusion?
