Summary

A polyphonic research into contemporary, "Art & Crisis" is the first volume of a new series aiming to explore the state of the world and cultural theories as seen through the lens of contemporary artistic practices and educational tools. Stemming from the MFA Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts, and edited by MFA director Donatella Bernardi, the series' ambition is to replace the traditional "degree show" catalogue with a theoretical publication showing the path followed by the students-turned-artists over the course of the year, and to explore how an educational institution based in Zurich can locate itself within the global (art) world. For this first volume, artistic, philosophical, and visual essays, as well as contributions by the MFA students and its professional participants are gathered together under the umbrella title Art & Crisis.
