Artists may hold wrong ideas by today's standards, but does that make their artworks wrong? And is it wrong to enjoy those works of art? And if so, can't we learn something from it anyway? What does right and wrong actually mean? And how disruptive or abrasive may or can cultural expressions be in today's society?
These questions are at the heart of the studio ‘Contested Art’ in which we focus on five different domains: music, philosophy, comics, photography and architecture. In the first part of the studio, we explore these areas with the help of an expert, then in the second part you delve deeper into a case study of your own choice.
