Summary
The notion of reality emerges as an omnipresent theme in art between 1960 and 1989. Representing reality was defined as the goal of art by Marxist-Leninist theory and socialist realism. It was also the focus of a questioning of the arts in which art and life interact, as well as a theme explored by conceptual and institutional critique practices, and the subject of artworks that invite the viewer to take part in a phenomenological reflection. While we observe significant variations between french, germans and polish contexts, certain convergences can be identified in common aspirations shared by artists and artworks. It is for this reason that these workshops will bring together researchers from different disciplines and geographic regions in order to analyse this plurality of perspectives. To encourage dialogue and exchange, each of the three workshops will associate the notion of reality with another term that both represents its opposite and indirectly defines the particular reality in question.
