TBA21 Venice Talks
September 11, 2008 | Istituto Veneto, Venice

Seminars
Events & Education

At the Venice Architectural Biennial, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary is previewing two commissions which explore the disciplinary interplays between art, architecture, mathematics, music and science and architecture, botany, historiography, territoriality. To give deeper insight into the artistic and theoretical reflections behind the foundation’s latest Art Pavilion commissions, Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary hosts two panels that explore these disciplinary convergences.

Contemporary Architecture and the Toxicity of History 

In The Garden of Earthly Delights , contemporary art and architecture are inscribed within the horizon of historic preservation in an unprecedented way: an important non-physical historical particularity of the site is preserved, or reconstructed. What is contained within the boundaries of the transient and evasive structure is primarily an abundant set of ideas. 

Introduction by Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, Founder and Chairwoman of TBA21 
Panelists : François Roche, Architect, R&Sie(n), Paris; Hani Rashid, Architect, Asymptote, NY; Beatriz Colomina, Professor of Architecture and Director of the PhD Program, Princeton University, New Jersey; Alisa Andrasek, Architect, biothing, NY; Thomas Krens, Director, Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, NY; Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, Chairwoman, TBA21, Vienna 
Moderator: Jorge Otero-Pailos, Assistant Professor of Historic Preservation, Columbia University, NY

Drawing in Art, Architecture and Science 

The potential of drawing to function as a sort of lingua franca between the sciences and the arts is apparent in The Evening Line and The Morning Line . It builds on the concept of drawing to explore mathematics and science as a common horizon of art and architecture. 

Panelists : Matthew Ritchie, Artist, NY; Ben Aranda / Chris Lasch, Architects, Aranda/Lasch, NY; Daniel Bosia, Co-director, Arup AGU, London; Greg Lynn, Architect, Greg Lynn FORM, Venice, CA; Farshid Moussavi, Architect, Foreign Office Architects, NY; Paola Antonelli, Curator, MoMA, NY; Daniela Zyman, Curator, TBA21, Vienna 
Moderator: Mark Wigley, Dean of Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, Columbia University, NY
