Espais Volart hosts the presentation of the book La pintura como experiencia cognitiva (Painting as cognitive experience), by Domènec Corbella. This is a manual that invites the reader to reflect, through practice, upon experiences based on awareness of the cognitive processes that have been carried out at the Laboratory of Cognitive Painting, at the Universitat de Barcelona, after stimulating, enhancing and channelling pictorial research. The book includes eighteen activities which aim to stimulate painting in a reflective and multidisciplinary cognitive way, which has not been studied a lot. It features contributions from professors António Quadros Ferreira, Sebastià Serrano, Carme Junqué, Josep Vallverdú and Han Yu Chi, who show us how an appropriate reduction in cognitive inhibition can open up new richer and fuller creative possibilities. The book demonstrates the commitment to teaching and research commitment, and over forty years of dedication, by Domènec Corbella, currently Emeritus Professor at the Universitat de Barcelona.
Speakers:
Domènec Corbella, author of the book
Joan Guàrdia, rector of the Universitat de Barcelona
Sebastià Serrano, Emeritus Professor of General Linguistics and the Theory of Communication at the Universitat de Barcelona
