“Aim of the lecture day was to bring new themes to the art theory, to think about the intellectual instrumentarium, which we use while thinking about art in Estonia; to distance from the prevailing positions of art historian, art critic and aesthetic and to look to the contemporary art from the viewpoint of sociology and social psychology.”
