> DESCRIPTION

The starting point for this discussion is the exhibition currently on show at Tanya Leighton, and specifically its title: The Intellectual Work.

Chosen by the artist and master of Italian design Enzo Mari for his installation at the gallery (a selection of paperweights he's been collecting and assembling for decades, which Mari describes like an 'allegory' of the essence of his practice, as much as of the practice of whoever undertakes 'intellectual work'), it brings together three international artists and a curator who share a common interest in Mari and his production, as much as in his attitude.

What does it mean to perform an 'intellectual work'? Is it useful to follow an 'ethical handrail', as Mari claims, whenever inserting anything in the cycle of production and consumption? What is education? These are some of the questions intended for debate.

The event will be held in English.

Coinciding with the talk Tanya Leighton Gallery will be open on Sunday 2 October, 2-4 pm
