Vortrag
Ei Arakawa: A Performance Group: Jikken Kōbō (Experimental Workshop) and Etc.
Donnerstag, 10. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Ei Arakawa (b. 1977, Japan) almost always works in a group. Involving simple building materials, video, choreographed sequences and printed banners and posters, the performances he organizes address particular domains of identity - spectacular rock stages, USA alien status, Japanese historical avant-garde, Gay riots, and the administration of artist singularities. Yet, the group tries to leap/leak from these, continuously and temporarily. Ei Arakawa's exhibitions/performances have taken place at Performa07, New York; Yokohama Triennale, Japan; New Museum, New York; The Power Plant, Toronto; ICA, London; Kunsthalle Zurich, Switzerland; and University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann Arbor.
Grand Openings (since 2005) is a performance collective that consists of five different commitments; a performance artist (Ei Arakawa); a painter/musician/writer (Jutta Koether); a gallerist/artist/singer (Emily Sundblad); a curator (Jay Sanders); and a composer (Stefan Tcherepnin); Their performances were shown in Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm; Bumbershoot 2008, Seattle; MUMOK, Vienna; Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2006, Nigata; and Performa05, New York. With the funding from Kunstzeitraum, Munich, Grand Openings is currently working on their upcoming book planned to be released from Koenig Books London in 2010/11.

Vortrag
Achim Menges: Computational Form and Material Gestalt: Architectural Phenotypes
Mittwoch, 9. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
Alle Veranstaltungen der Architekturklasse finden in englischer Sprache statt.
Over the last few years, Achim Menges has emerged as a leading voice on the international scene in architecture on topics related to form generation, computational design and 'performative' design strategies. At various institutions, he has led research that engages with the underlying material and technological structure of the design process to explore new avenues for architecture. The work has been disseminated in an impressive list of conferences, papers and books, including Hensel, M., Menges, A., Weinstock M.: Emergent Technologies and Design (Routledge, Oxford, 2010) and Hensel, M., Menges, A. (eds.): Form Follows Performance: Zur Wechselwirkung von Material, Struktur, Umwelt (ArchPlus No. 188, ArchPlus Verlag, Aachen, 2010).
In SAC's current lecture series, 'The Production of Appearance,' he will speak about research and findings that relates to architectural production in this technological and methodological context.
Achim Menges is professor at Stuttgart University where he is the Director of the Institute for Computational Design. He is also a Visiting Professor in Architecture at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design as well as the Emergent Technologies and Design Graduate Programme at the Architectural Association in London. Previously, he has taught at the AA School of Architecture as Studio Master of the Emergent Technologies and Design Graduate Program from 2002 to 2009, as Unit Master of Diploma Unit 4 from 2003 to 2006 and, from 2005 to 2008 as Professor for Form Generation and Materialisation at the HfG Offenbach University for Art and Design.

Jimmie Durham
Vortrag
Jimmie Durham
Dienstag, 1. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
Die Veranstaltung findet in englischer Sprache statt.
Jimmie Durham is a seminal American sculptor, essayist and poet. His career has seen him create, perform and exhibit work across the globe. His first solo exhibition at the University of Texas, Austin in 1965 occurred during a period when the cultural and political uses of material, objects and space were central to his practice. Since that time his substantial career has deftly bridged the space between art and activism. From 1969 he was based in Europe (studying at the Ecole de Beaux Art, Geneva) returning to the USA in 1973; from 1987 - 1994 he lived and worked in Mexico returning to Europe in the mid 90s where he is currently based. Although his work is primarily sculptural, Durham’s oeuvre has also embraced theatre, performance, literature and poetry and is often embedded and affected by the location in which it is produced.
