On the Perpetual Becoming of Sculpture and History and Their Moments of Convergence

Can a work of art have a testimonial character with regard to political events?
When does one acquire a legitimate authority to reflect upon lifechanging events? 
How autonomous can an artist or his, her, their work be?
 
Petrone wishes to address these questions as a sculptor (from within her artistic practice) and as a historian who wants to revisit the oeuvres of other artists. 
 
As to her, the registration and layered processing of an event from within an artistic practice can be meaningful as a commitment that transgresses verbal statements.

Keywords:
- the sensory qualities of sculpture
- witnessing from the arts
- non-discursive thinking, embodied thinking
 

Promotors: Hans Theys (Academy) and Herman Van Goethem (UAntwerp)
