Abstract

The propositions of this text are orientations of an experimental curatorial process underway during 2019, which serves as the activator of the series of meetings that SenseLab will facilitate in different countries with the title of Minor Movements. In the cross-sectional exploration of what this series of encounters can generate, the question arises of how it is possible to account for the entry of the smaller movement into the world. A curatorial process for activating smaller movements requires a transformation of the assumption that there is a field of art and a field of life when the binary between art and life is undone. What matters is not whether it is art or not, but how experience or event changes the conditions of experience. When art becomes the way and not the end, smaller movements become guiding processes to come.
