The Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) presents:
Professor Howard Caygill (Kingston) – Aesthetics and Madness
How did the work of artists incarcerated in mental hospitals at the beginning of the 20th century escape confinement, to play an important role in the pre- and post-war artworlds? This lecture will explore the conjuncture of diagnostics, record keeping and philosophical redefintions of art and creativity that temporarily opened a route out of the asylum and into the gallery and art market.
Welcome by Professor Malcolm Quinn (UAL):
