How does contemporary art make us think about the present but also the future?
It is the question of considering the modalities of the experience of the contemporary through time and space of creation, both material and immaterial, and their influence on artistic practices. But also, to question the roles that art and its actors can assume (artists, art critics and curators, institutions, etc.) as through them new forms of relations with the world emerge.
