AN ADVANCED TRANSDISCIPLINARITY: THE MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ARTS AGENDA.
The arts are now embedded in a cultural environment that makes them particularly transdisciplinary. Indeed, whether it is painting, sculpture, engraving, photography, cinema, video, performance, scenic arts, multi-media arts, etc., the richness of its elements, the diversity of their repercussions, the plurality of discourses and scientific approaches they raise reveal their condition at the same time advanced and transdisciplinary. In modernity, the evolution of the arts was rapid. The speed of this evolution led to a great complexity of the artistic scenario. The complexity that we noticed in the works and in the production and creation processes was reinforced by the complexity of the questions raised. Thus, although they are fundamental and always an object of experimentation, it is no longer possible to say that art only emphasizes its own processes of production and language. For reasons that need to be presented and, rather, reconstituted, modern and contemporary art is characterized by an immense openness to questions that agitate society, that interest the social, cultural, political condition, etc. of people. The complexification of art, which invented a concrete transdisciplinarity in the 20th century, responds to the complexification of questions and critical and cognitive domains that art is capable of approaching and problematizing. It is the advanced state of the arts and its repercussions in various areas of knowledge, as well as the ability to invent transdisciplinarity in works, that the project presented here aims to deepen. The Residency is expected to contain a sum of reflections likely to be disseminated later through articles, book chapters and, above all, a book.
