History of _rt: Experimental mapping
In this presentation, Gabriel discussed some aspects of the experimental and collaborative project “History of _rt.” How may we radicalize the notion of Art and think differently about its official and unofficial (his)stories? How may we evaluate the limited perspectives of the official “History of Art” taught today, while also imagining alternatives? From mapping the normative to charting otherwise, this talk challenged the complex, relational articulation of art and history.
