Reading Group: "Appearance and the Invisible" with Cecilia Sjöholm

This event occurred on:  Wed. April 20, 6:30 pm

Works of art have a double status. They belong both to the realm of thought and the open space towards which they are intended. Born in an interior sphere of thoughts and feelings in the act of creation, art is transposed and exposed in the entirely different realm of public space. Only works of art are made for the “sole purpose of appearance.”, Arendt argues. What does this mean? The reading group will discuss the section "The Work of Art" in The Human Condition and discuss the relation between appearances and the invisible with regard to art.

READINGS:

• ONE -- "The Work of Art"
• TWO -- "Work", The Human Condition
• THREE -- "The Permanence of the World and the Work of Art."
