I attended and gave a talk at the Al Encuentro de lo Real (Toward an Encounter with the Real) conference, organized by the Lacanian group (Seminario Lacan Complutense) of the Faculty of Philosophy at the Complutense University of Madrid. Overall, the four-day conference offered a terrific series of presentations on wide ranging topics related to art and psychoanalysis (with special emphasis on the Lacanian Real), including panels, performances, debates, and informal exchanges….
…Positioned in the conference thread on artistic practice and resistance against the neoliberal commandment to enjoy, my talk «Towards a non-orientable methodology for art practice» proposed a quasi-model for developing individual and collaborative art projects, ultimately linking the Lacanian conception of impossibility and the urgent topic of collectivity.
