Narratives in Boundless Space
Discussion
- 03.05.2019, 6 p.m.Admission free
Accompanying the exhibition of Virtual Reality projects by members of the studio, Architecture and Aesthetic Practice, at the Städelschule Architecture Class, Narratives in Boundless Space presents an evening of hosted talks addressing topics related to architecture and emerging opportunities given in Virtual Reality as a technological medium.
Sarah Heuberger and Hannah Katalin Grimmer of Goethe University and Städelschule’s Master programme, Curatorial Studies, invite to discussions with the exhibiting architects.
Virtual Reality – what sounds like an abstract term – has had a decisive influence over the last few years on the working methods in architecture. The temporal spheres of the virtual spaces expose the lived world as a construct. The exhibited work at Mousonturm suggests that simultaneity of lived experiences and multiple “realities” engender a new way of thinking. What options does this development offer, and how does it change our access to moving images?
The focus of the talks is on the projects at hand in the context of the overall exhibition. The conversations will recapitulate the content and constructs of the work and address current developments in the field as well as curatorial challenges with respect to presenting Virtual Reality projects to the public.
