When Susan Sontag published Against interpretation in 1966, much had yet to be written about the gesture of participating in the act of enjoyment – from the understanding of contemplation as an evil to be banished from society to the opposition between interpretation and experience. From the understanding of interpretation as a discourse limiting the aesthetic experience to the emancipation of the interpreter as the active author of his/her own interpretive path. We set out to discuss these questions with special guests working daily on this thin line between presentation and interpretation.
