"Grace & Gravity"
January 26–27, 2019
We are pleased to inform you that the art and architecture forum E.A.T./ Engadin Art Talks will take place during the weekend of January 26 and 27, 2019 in Zuoz, Switzerland.
This year, we have invited artist and dancer Cecilia Bengolea, architects Arno Brandlhuber, Elizabeth Diller and Smiljan Radic, artists Lena Henke, Thomas Hirschhorn, Isabel Nolan, Heji Shin and Tomás Saraceno, astrophysicist Ravit Helled, actress Charlotte Rampling, fashion designer Phoebe Philo and fashion photographer Juergen Teller to explore the contradictory forces Grace & Gravity.
How do gravity and grace define current-day life in the digital age? A meeting of two conflicting forces: on one hand, the idea of mass and gravity, and all the power that draws us earthwards; on the other, the unburdened fluidity of grace and elegance, which bring the positive momentum of beauty into play.
Creative thinkers from a variety of fields the world over pick up the ball and explore with this subject through short presentations and in conversations. Engage in rigorous debate and discussion during two days and interact with these creative thinkers during our coffee breaks and lunches. Saturday will feature an informal lunch at Restaurant Dorta. On Sunday the programme concludes with the visit of Art Public Plaiv.
The 2019 programme is curated by Daniel Baumann (Director, Kunsthalle Zürich), Bice Curiger (Artistic Director, Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles), Hans Ulrich Obrist (Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries London) and Philip Ursprung (Professor of History of Art and Architecture and Dean of the Department of Architecture at ETH Zürich).
