Is it possibile to teach art? Teaching art can only coincide with showing "how to do it", leaving entirely open and unresolved the question of the way in which art is made up of life's practices.
Massimo Carboni teaches Aesthetics at the University of Tuscia di Viterbo and the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Historian, art critic and theoretic of aesthetics, he has been dealing with philosophical issues that intersect the plurality of artistic expressions, the statute of the techniques and the anthropological root of expression. Among his recent books: L’occhio e la pagina. Tra immagine e parola (Milano 2002); Lo stato dell’arte. L’esperienza estetica nell’èra della tecnica (con P. Montani, Roma-Bari 2005); La mosca di Dreyer. L’opera della contingenza nelle arti (Milano 2007); Di più di tutto. Figure dell’eccesso (Roma 2009); Le arti e la tecnica: gli scenari futuri, in Terzo Millennio (Enciclopedia Italiana Treccani, 2010).
