Description

SPIRIT IS A BONE is an association based in Lisbon. Its name, taken from an infamous oxymoron (or "infinite judgment") by the German philosopher Hegel, underscores its commitment to exploring the productive potential of contradiction.
The association aims to think together and explore how such infinite judgements function and especially how they relate to the dialectic, how far dialectic can think and what escapes the dialectic, what remains, what gets separated, what gets stuck: the bone in the throat. The aim of the association is to propagate a thinking of these residual phenomena.
SPIRIT IS A BONE is currently curated by artists and researchers Luís Neiva and Björn Schmelzer. Alongside hosting a regular podcast, the association aims to organize readings, discussions, and live online events featuring other participants and guest speakers, as well as a summer and winter school, seminars, masterclasses, and other educational programs.
