Summary

Learning to see with Jean Gebser

"Art as an expression of dominant consciousness." - according to Jean Gebser
In this compact presentation, we immerse ourselves in Jean Gebser's visionary thinking and look at art history not chronologically, but structurally: as a mirror of changing forms of consciousness - from archaic origins to integral vision.

We look at, discuss, deepen and create. With visual material, creative exercises, reflection and dialog.
This weekend opens up new perspectives on art - and on ourselves.
