Event: Sublimism: Reconciling Art and Truth, December 15, 2023, Salmagundi Club

With the advent of Postmodernism, a sacred and eternal bond was torn asunder – that between Art and Truth. Now, instead of Beauty, Nobility and Wonder, what is exalted in our Art is the absurd, the irreverent and the crass.

It is now high time to correct this woe, time to reconcile Art and Truth, and once and for all heal the rupture Postmodernism caused.

 Aesthetic philosopher, Ilario Colli and his colleague, literary author, Raphael Chloé have spent the last few months feverishly devising a way to do precisely this.

 They have called it Sublimism.

 In a global-first, Colli will launch this bold and profound new art movement to the world, while Chloé will recite excerpts of the first literature inspired by it.

 Join us for an evening of philosophical discussions, literary readings, and original music penned ad hoc for the event by renowned composer, Joao MacDowell. Hosting the event will be the brilliant and illustrious artist, Jacob Collins

WHEN: December 15, 6pm; WHERE: The Salmagundi Club, 47 5th Ave, New York, NY

All welcome!
