It is possible to use vague concepts, but better not to. This could be the motto of the initiative launched this year by the journal Liget, now already past its first “semester”. In Spring 2007 renowned artists and scholars attempted to define such concepts as sense of proportion, soul, machine, environment, growth, key concept, myth. The intellectual basics are continuing in the autumn semester with an examination of seven basic concepts: name, knowledge, imagination, work, humour, power and history. And an eighth has been added especially for the Budapest Autumn Festival: contemporary art. A composer, a writer and an architect will examine the theme in talks followed by a discussion to give a clearer idea of what we mean today by contemporary and whether the word “art” still has any meaning.
