Reinhold Martin - Microcosm Macrocosm

[DK]

Simian præsenterer Microcosm Macrocosm, en talk med arkitektur- og mediehistoriker Reinhold Martin. Arrangementet finder sted i kunstneren Dan Grahams skulpturelle pavillon, Big Loop Becoming A Small Loop (2015), der ligger i Byparken i Ørestad.

Det er gratis at deltage i arrangementet og alle er velkomne. Der vil være medbragte stole at sidde i, samt forfriskninger til rådighed.

I samtalen zoomer Martin ud fra det specifikke ved Irma Hünerfauths Fluxus- og kybernetiske kunst, som kan ses på Simian, til omfanget af de omkringliggende infrastrukturer og de urbane og sociale forhold i Ørestad til det fremherskende neoliberale regime og den vedvarende indflydelse af global systemtænkning.

Som en del af udstillingerne Irma Hünerfauth - Speaking Boxes i dialog med Planned City Cinema er talken organiseret og modereret af Elisa R. Linn og Lennart Wolff.
