Are We Contemporary?
Lecture and panel discussion on temporality in a globalised (art) world.
Kunsthaus Zurich, 29 September 2023, 6:30-8:00 p.m.
The evening is divided into two parts: Cultural geographer Julie Ren will give a 30-minute talk entitled Unhinged Temporalities: Urban Futurity and Contemporary Art Biennials. Afterwards, the participants will discuss questions about temporality in globalisation: does this imply a (certain form of) history or rather a continuous movement, a synchronised understanding of the present?
Panel discussion with Burkhard Meltzer (Zurich University of the Arts ), Matheus Rocha Pitta (artist, Berlin), Julie Ren (Senior Scientist, Department of Geography, University of Zürich) and Fatma Shanan (artist, Julis, Tel Aviv and Zurich), moderated by Cathérine Hug (curator, Kunsthaus Zürich).
A cooperation of Kunsthaus Zürich and Shared Campus.
Venue: Kunsthaus Zürich, Moser Building, Large Lecture Hall, 8001 Zurich.
