For his inaugural talk as Visiting Professor at Central Saint Martins, Adrian Rifkin will visit the word itself, so as to speak, in staging different scenes of the moment of a visit, from biblical texts to modern critical theory, from verismo opera to renaissance painting. The unpredictable consequence of the visit, for one or all parties, the re-visited shock of deferred action, one scene besides another, some seen, some heard, some gestured, to arrive somewhere near to now, to the aestheitics and politics of today's artworlding.
