Following Hal Foster in his book The âReturn of the realâ, this project acknowledges that art rests on a shaft of âhorizontal operation, synchronous, socialâ where its location at the institutional levels has largely ceded its dominance of the discursive networks that are linked to the artistic production. One of the main lines of work results in addressing the relationship of social processes from the implementation of specific economic and cultural dynamics (inequality, social exclusion, marginality, capital, free markets, political movements, gender studies, urban distribution and wealth).  In this manner art is conceived as a vehicle for cultural, ideological and social system that is directly involved in the formation of a public sphere in various positions, where it does not necessarily end up exposing themselves in are as that traditionally have gone to the artistic and studios, galleries, museums, etc., although is in new display environments that make other relationships with the community and with the same individuals that make up a specific society, with the aim of generating social and aesthetic approaches to the construction of a public space.  r.a.t.residencias.artÃ[email protected] -- Moldova Young Artists Association "Oberliht" http://oberliht.com . . . . . . . . . . . https://lists.idash.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/oberlist portal informational pentru arta si cultura din Moldova information gateway for arts and culture from Moldova
