CROSSTALKS - THE ACADEMIC AND CORPORATE EXCHANGE PLATFORM
IN SEARCH OF A FUTURE OF PROSPERITY AND FREEDOM
WITHOUT UNDERMINING NATURE AND HUMANITY
Look Who's Crosstalking Now
The Boat is leaking. The Captain lied.
Artworks, movies and theater sceneries at the Ca'Corner della Regina
Until 26 November 2017, the spaces of the Ca'Corner della Regina, also known as the Prada Foundation in Venice, are transformed into countless viewing rooms and corners presenting works by Thomas Demand (cinematographer), Alexander Kluge (photographer) and Anna Viebrock (scenographer). The great title 'The Boat is Leaking. The Captain Lied' comes from the song Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen and perfectly summarizes the state of being of our world today. Art, film and theater media raise fundamental and probing questions projecting on human history, on the complexity of the world today, of the loss of trust, the lust for life, devastating distress and never-ending hope.

Roger Casterman, topographe en Congo 1926-1936
Le nouveau Crosstalks livre est une édition assez particulière et un hommage à Roger Casterman, le père de Cécile Casterman qui ensemble avec son mari Raymond Hamers sont les fondateurs du VUB chair History & Philosophy of Sciences. Comme cité dans l'introduction du livre: "Que faire lorsqu’on se retrouve gardien d’une archive de dessins inédits, d’aquarelles et d’huiles, ainsi que de photographies et autres documents ayant trait à trois régions du Congo Belge – le Katanga, le Kivu et le Maniema – de 1926 à 1936 ? (...) L’archive méritait publication, il fallait écrire un livre. Le titre fut vite trouvé : Roger Casterman. Topographe au Congo 1926-1936." |
“Today we no longer have the right to pretend that we command a unique position from which we can view the truth about the world. We must learn not to judge different areas of knowledge, culture, or art, but to combine them and to establish new ways of coexistence with those who enable us to meet the unique demands of our time.”
Ilya Prigogine & Isabelle Stengers,
Order Out of Chaos: Man’s New Dialogue With Nature, 1984
