Channel: pmilat
Date: 2014-07-02

Talk at the conference "SOPHISTRY - The Powers of the False" at MaMa, Zagreb [June 27-29,2014]

————————

Our symposium will take up sophistry not only as a matter of historical concern but also contemporary contestation: as one way to think through not only the relation between the true and the false, but also the "ancient" and the "modern," not only the philosophical past but also the future of philosophy.

Alexi Kukuljevic is an artist and philosopher based in Berlin.  In 2014, he has had two solo exhibitions, Don't Be a Dreamer Mr. Me, at Marginal Utility Gallery, Philadelphia, and ...you can't rely on the joke as the only mode of social relation at Kunsthalle-Leipzig.  He is currently working on a book, Liquidation World, drawing a theoretical portrait of different subjective figures engaged in what Oswald Wiener terms rituals of self-dissolution.
