PHYSICAL INFORMATION - TALKS EVENT

Bloomberg SPACE is pleased to announce a special talks event on Saturday 22nd April. Part of the current exhibition programme PHYSICAL INFORMATION, the event is concerned with re-imagining the possibilities of material encounters, exploring how physical objects can generate alternative experiences in an increasingly abstract world.

Three keynote speakers and two artist interventions will explore material culture from the perspectives of art history, anthropology, and fiction: art historian Alex Potts will examine how temporality is central to experiences of sculpture; anthropologist Haidy Geismar will explore how digitization effects the experience of objects and collections; and novelist Tom McCarthy will read an extract from a new manuscript. In addition, artist David Musgrave will present a new digital animation and artist Karin Ruggaber will deliver a specially commissioned printed edition.

The event will coincide with the final day of Florian Roithmayr’s exhibition ir re par sur, and will conclude with a drinks reception in the gallery.
