Abstract

This image-bearing name was given to the sitting of the Discussion club «Paradoxes of Modern Art Culture» arranged by the Chair of aesthetics, culture history and theory of VGIK together with a group of postnonclassic aesthetics of the Institute of Philosophy of Russian Academy. It was devoted to discussing a fundamental work by V.Bichkov, N.Mankovskaya, V.Ivanov «Trialogue. Living Aesthetics and Modern Philosophy of Art»(Moscow, Progress-Tradition, 2012, 840 pages, illustr.) All the participants unanimously agreed that «Trialogue» could justly be named an encyclopedia of modern artistic culture.
