Beyond Kandinsky online symposium

The year 2011 marks the centennial of the publication of Wassily Kandinsky's classic text, On the Spiritual in Art. Inspired by this anniversary, this project seeks to explore the place of the spiritual in contemporary art and to propose a challenge to the current devaluation of the inner life that prevails within the art world in our market-driven era.

As of Wednesday, March 30th, a ten-day virtual symposium moderated by Taney Roniger and Eric Zechman is being held in this forum. The symposium will close on the evening of Friday, April 8th.
