Miško Šuvaković will talk about the relationship between art and politics in contemporary culture and society. His intention is to show how it can be theoretized contemporary art and politics from the perspective of cultural and biopolitical theories. Contemporary relations between art and politics may be identified as a field of obsessions and phantasms about representing the ”truth of the world/life”, or, alternatively, as a field of obsessions and phantasms about performing the ”regulation of world/life”.
