Beatriz Colomina: Manifesto Architecture - From ZANG TUMB TUMB to Twitter
The history of the avant-garde (in art, architecture, literature) can’t be separated from the history of its engagement with the media. It is not just the avant-garde used media to publicize their work. The work didn’t exist before its publication. This lecture focuses on the last 100 years of architectural manifestoes as they migrate from printed media to new media and beyond.
The lecture takes place in Städelschule Aula at 19:00
