Into Cosmos
Co-convened by Victoria Lynn and Nikos Papastergiadis
Associate Lucy Guster
The broad themes of the Adelaide Festival – faith, emotion, mystery, universe – are taken as a starting point for reflections on how art is engaged in the making of a cosmology. Cosmos refers to the realm of imaginary possibilities and the systems by which we make sense of our place in the world.
Featuring brilliantly constructive and imaginative thinkers, Artists’ Week provides a forum for an exchange between international and national perspectives on the key issues that shape contemporary art.
Each day will address the classical pronouncement of cosmopolitanism: “I am a citizen of the world”, and then proceed to explore both the artist’s vision of the world, and the worlds made through art.
With more than 30 presentations including keynote speakers and respondents, artists’ lectures and panels, Into Cosmos opens a new dialogue between philosophy, politics, fiction and art.
