Bodies and Buildings | Thomas Florschuetz - Wednesday 19th @ 18.30

A Lecture by German artist Thomas Florschuetz, who comes fresh from the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, where he is the only German artist - supported by the Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore  - on display in this inaugural edition.

In his Lecture: Bodies and Buildings, Florschuetz will present a brief overview of his work since the mid '80s. However, the focus of his talk will be on the last five to six years including his works from Ahmedabad and Chandigarh. These will be on view at his exhibition at the Museum in Wiesbaden, Germany in April next year. Florschuetz' work focuses mainly on architecture, but he has also published a large series of photographs titled Jets, some of which are also on display at the Biennale.
