Sunday 1 December 2013, 2:00-4:00pm at the MCA Veolia Lecture Theatre
Join us for a Sunday afternoon at the MCA to hear eminent philosopher Professor Gernot Böhme speak about the concept of atmospheres in art, architecture, cities and aesthetics. Atmosphere, Boehme argues, is not only the subject matter of art and architecture. We equally recognize the atmosphere of a city as something that makes it peculiar and individual. But what is really at stake when we talk about the atmosphere of a city or a building is precisely the way that life unfolds within it.
Gernot Böhme theories have become highly influential in architectural thinking throughout the world and were explored in his collaborations with celebrated architects, artists and theorists including Herzog & De Meuron, Olafur Eliasson, James Turrell and Bruno Latour.
Followed by a panel discussion with Sandra Karina Löschke (UTS), Graham Jahn (City of Sydney) and other guests.
