What is happening with a contemporary art practice during the lockdown, isolation and “a dispersion of the social”? What is the place of art in this pandemic time when it seems that people have acquired habits of obedience rather than habits of confinement, as Rancière powerfully argues. How to define a true emancipatory politics while distinguishing between various dominant populisms today, and what would be the role of an artistic practice for this act? Is there a likelihood within the filed of artistic endeavor of translating the state of exception into a more emancipatory act, perhaps as an art’s survival strategy and at the same time, its social responsibility?
