buzzing questions

Here is a extract of the book “Partage du sensible / esthetique et politique” by Jacques Ranciére just to open up the concept of “politics”:

“Politics is about what we see and what we can say about it, about who has the competence to see and the quality to tell, the attributes of space and the possibilities of time.”

And here are some questions that are buzzing us:

a) How do view the relationship between art and politics?
b) How can you inscribe your work in a political dimension?
c) Do you think a context like the one of « some political art » can give impulse to deepen or consider this issue?
d) How do residence projects influence your creation process? Do you think they are useful to define your own practice?
e) How do you address the notions of “autonomy”, “responsibility” and “resistance”?

More later!!
