With making room for critical thinking, Workspace Ricerca X expresses the desire to expand and further articulate the environment it creates with new tools, facilitating the collective exercising of critical thinking as a discursive practice within the frame of artistic research. A critical and reflexive approach to research practices, materials and their discursive articulations, able to reverberate on different scales, starting from the practices of individual artists, all the way to the discourse of the community gathering around research. This implies questioning how the thoughts generated in this complex environment fall out of the context of Ricerca X.
How can we be comfortable in a difficult posture?
How much responsibility, sensitivity and fantasy are at stake while we generate critical thinking?
In how many ways can critical thinking circulate?
What do we do with it afterwards?
Making room for critical thinking is the program of Workspace Ricerca X for 2023, which takes shape though two research residencies and some public events.
