Sculpture of Thoughts

« Thinking Art, Art of thinking,
is thinking a plastic form ?
»
Forum des images – Paris | september 18, 1999

The Sculpture of thoughts is conceived as a course of interventions by personalities of various spheres: scientists, philosophers, poets, musicians, dancers… A debate produced on the theme of the expression of thought, that will explore an artist’s place in today’s world facing science, philosophy, and more broadly, our society. The thinking process reveals itself through sounds, images, gestures or ideas and the science of intuition. 

« From East to West,
is there a more wonderful journey
than from Idea to Image ? »
