The project ON ABSTRACTION [or the excessive concern about an object] focuses on the questioning of the status of the object, understood here in a broad sense (be it text, power, disciplines, bureaucracy, authority, language, knowledge, the museum, the artistic object, the subject or, generically, the empiricist, wild, speculative or fictional relationship between words and things).
Assuming the curatorial text as a writing exercise and an approach to philosophy and art theory, the project articulates an international colloquium, a bilingual publication and three exhibitions: (I) Paris (II) Porto (III) Barcelona.
