A programme of artist lectures divided into, on one hand, site-specific performances that will take place in different exhibition spaces in the city of Bologna bringing the urban and cultural fabric to life, and on the other, performances linked to the history of art that articulates, within the Fair, the relationship between the contemporary and the modern.
In recent years the artists lectures have come to include performance works held by artists that use the conference as an artistic medium like any other.
A genre historically pertinent to the academy and more generally to the institutions for transmitting consciousness, the public speaking has come to be defined as the location for the emergence of a new relationship between artistic work and discursive practice.
Conferences, guided tours or lessons, the artists lecture appropriates the coded instruments for communication of knowledge in order to make art about that same knowledge.
