I went to this on saturday @ Tate Modern: Artist Olafur Eliasson in conversation with Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel. Chaired by Catherine Malabou. It was good, and in part quite funny. Latour and Weibel completely disagreed about the construction of space, for Latour space is inscribed, which he related to art history, Weibel made use of graph theory, after Weibel had explained his position Latour said 'I disagree with everything you have said'. Somewhere in the middle was Eliasson, who has worked and made work with both Weibel and Latour. The discussion was pretty stunted as a result of their intransigence, although Eliasson acted as a good glue between the two, the chair was pretty poor. |
