Architects and Art Curators. Possible Dialogues
CasabellaLaboratorio, Theatro, Milano
2023
30 years after completing the Kirchner Museum in Davos, Annette Gigon, partner of the well-known studio Gigon-Guyer, speaks with the museum’s artistic curator and current director Katharina Beisiegel, moderated by Evelyn Steiner.
The numerous museums Gigon-Guyer designed after the Kirchner, their first museum, is the starting point for a conversation exploring how the work and expertise of the architect can enrich that of the curator, and vice versa. Additionally, it allows for an initial exploration of the boundaries and limitations of the two disciplines.
Sun Breakers
Book launch and discussion, Last Tango, Zurich
2023
Designed by Irish architect and designer Eileen Gray (1878–1976), E-1027 has only recently taken on the status of an architectural icon. Jürgen Beck’s photographs of the house approach the building as if in search of something. He captures the overgrown paths that he walks to take him to the house, while steering clear of views of the coast and the Côte d’Azur beach and avoiding long shots, as these would falsely enlarge the space, which was designed as an intimate place for work and leisure activities.
On the occasion of the book launch of Sun Breakers, Evelyn Steiner talks to the photographer Jürgen Beck.
