Abstract

Ida Tursic and Wilfried Mille will try to tell the story of how things get done in the studio, without going into the details of who does what, how the work generates itself, how things contaminate each other, how subjects / centers of interest shift, transform, evolve, and they will try to see if painting is a specific way of thinking the world and thinking itself.
