Asger Jorn: Stupor and Barbarism
Art historian Maria Stavrinaki is set to inaugurate the "No-Todo: TEA Thought Cycle" program at TEA. Tenerife Espacio de las Artes museum. Her lecture, titled "Asger Jorn: Stupor and Barbarism," will explore the work of the influential Danish artist Asger Jorn, known for his unconventional approach to history through the Scandinavian Institute of Comparative Vandalism. The presentation will be delivered in French with simultaneous translation.
The "No-Todo" program, conceived by the TEA Thought team (comprising Roberto Gil, Yaiza Hernández Velázquez, Inés Plasencia, Rocío Robles Tardío, Néstor Delgado, Narelys Hernández, Joel Peláez, Alejandro Castañeda, and Sergio Rubira), aims to reveal how historical narratives are deliberately constructed through selection, omission, and appropriation. It seeks to create a platform for envisioning alternative futures.
Following this inaugural event, the "No-Todo" program for 2026 will continue with monthly sessions throughout the year. The confirmed lineup includes Francisco J. Hernández Adrián on Saturday, April 11th, followed by Louisa Yousfi on May 9th. The first segment of the annual program will conclude on June 13th with Stefanos Geroulanos. "No-Todo" will then resume with new contributions starting in September.
