The research cluster "Art. Critique. Politics" that integrates the "Art Theory, Historiography and Criticism" group of the IHA is organizing its first colloquium, to take place at the Auditório Goethe-Institut and the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, on the 19 and 20 of June 2014 (the full program can be consulted here). The colloquium seeks to rethink the concept of critique/criticism (the Portuguese term 'crítica' can stand for both). To cite the cluster's coordinator, Nuno Crespo, the objective is not simply "to underline the relevance of criticism as a reflexive moment, necessary for the construction of the artistic object, but, at the same time, to review the context of the activity of criticism, contributing to the re-validation of its autonomy and disciplinary pertinence".
