Friday Lecture - The radical rethinking - Erik Bünger, artist

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.” (William Blake)

Thinking “it could ALSO be different” involves outlining a parallel track without going into polemics, without ending up in oppositional positions in which all that has been suggested must be rejected or refuted. A rethinking that is characterized by joy, sharpness and boldness, but is also searching and non-judgemental, is necessary for both social development and artistic creation, as well as for personal growth. What can a radical rethinking look like and how can it be encouraged?

This autumn's series of seminars is about strategies, methods and examples in which rethinking has led to new understanding of the world and what it means to live in it.
