Architecture and Abstract Art
04.06.08
Wednesday 4 June 2008 6-7pm @ QUT Art Museum
Dr Anthony White, Lecturer in Art History, University of Melbourne, will talk about the relationship between abstract art and the architecture of Guiseppe Terragni (1904-1943), in conjunction with Ian Friend: Works on Paper 1977-2007. Terragni was an Italian architect who worked predominantly under the fascist regime of Mussolini and pioneered the Italian modern movement in architecture. In the mid 1990s Ian Friend undertook a series of works that responded to Terragni and his unrealised 1938 project for the 'Danteum', which was proposed as a celebration of the great Italian poet Dante Alighieri.
