Eliasson discussion
March 28th, 2006This Thursday at 8pm, the Pulitzer will host a roundtable discussion called “Art, Technology and the Sublime” with the artist Olafur Eliasson. The discussion will also include Sabine Eckmann (Director of the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum at Washington University), Matthias Waschek (our Director), and will be moderated by Lutz Koepnick (Professor of Germanic languages, Literatures, Film and Media at Wash U).
In prep for the evening, check out Eliasson’s website (I know I’ll need to). Also, check out the subjects being discussed at the Wash U symposium this weekend, entitled “After the Digital Divide”. According to this site, the symposium will “investigate the legacy of German aesthetic and critical theory as seen against the spreading background of digital culture since the 1990s.” Each of the people involved in the Pulitzer discussion are either of a German background or live in Germany, so it will be interesting to see how their own experiences and observations play in. If you are also curious, visit the Pulitzer on Wednesday, and then come hear what he has to say on Thursday. To reserve a space you can call 314-935-9347 or email samfoxschool@wustl.edu.
