The workshop was really useful because it gave rise to a series of thoughts and themes that crept into me like foreign bodies, which even after a month are still developing and maturing in the most diverse ways. The persistence and obsessive nature with which certain thoughts dwell in the mind is surely borne from the stubbornness of some comparisons and analysis, which are rarely pursued for fear of unveiling them. It was wonderful to discover a workshop that able to highlight the contradictions within the world of contemporary art.
