TONY MASLIC (cultural producer, artist, Cyprus)
„Anatomy of Conceptual Evolution, the Internal Experience“
The world in a state of flux, what are the perceptions and reflections in art, how is art evolving and how can we make sense of it all. No simple answers there. Tony Maslic will talk about his experiences of his personal journey to grasp these issues, and appropriates them as his work territory.
