The Scope of the Conference

We believed that aesthetics is a way of cutting any crisscrossing between cultural roles and social discrimination ones. The problem today and post to the state of great confusion quite salient in self-shaking state, has become intense. We consequently must deliver art from aesthetics not as a discourse but as an identification system that aesthetics put it on art. Concern that art undergoes today is the paradigm around which the meeting is built. This concern that’s displaced from aesthetics and migrated to practice sphere.

The question is how to interpret “art concern» as one of the main crises? Art is losing its strongholds; it has become hard for art to preserve its place within cultural production. And as it loses importance, the “cultural geography” changes its mapping along with its data and changes the actants. Not only that, but also the paradigm included by art has become flabby due to the interference of aesthetics and since then art has never constituted a genuine call only inside its closed field. All that art has achieved is that it made its techniques well known without its ontological feature.

There is another type of concern, that is, art today fails to take from courage only its ritual side: but it has conceded its permeation aspect and settled issues with boundaries and that’s due to. First, because of deficiency in research for modern art. Second, owing to the legal frameworks that art agreed upon to ensure salvation, we must invent new forms of practice. Forms here do not refer to the external. “Aspect of objects but to the essence as the Greeks put it “idea To preserve its ontological place, art has to create new thinking circles. This can only be achieved through its clinging to modernism. It should be that “thinking process”. It should be out of the “self-sufficiency”. The wide range of the image could be a hindrance to creativity and the search for “innovative ways”. Creativity in the space of nothingness can be labelled “thinking circles”

In reality, this is what we find in the artistic field including drama, cinema and visual arts. Impregnation can be the main theme of arts for decision making purpose to establish new geography of “Art concern” is but “thinking concern” here for a different language that can only be structured in a “void space” invented for new alternatives capable of going beyond the crisis space where art is stuck. “A kind of elusiveness that can never be predicted
