Sylvia Lavin: Von Postmodern bis Postmodernisierung
on-line lecture VI PER Gallery
Gallery VI PER invites you to watch an online presentation and discussion that will take place on December 21, 2020, at 7:00 PM through the Zoom platform. Registration for the event is required here.
While the history of architectural postmodernism has continuously focused primarily on issues of visual style, the radical impact of postmodernization on architectural practices is still largely overlooked. The book Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernist Myths foregrounds the information-driven logic of the late twentieth century in the counter-narrative of postmodern architecture.
Sylvia Lavin earned her PhD in 1990 from the Department of Art and Archaeology at Columbia University, after receiving fellowships from the Getty Center, Kress Foundation, and Social Science Research Council. Her first two books Quatremère de Quincy and the Invention of a Modern Language of Architecture (1992) and Form Follows Libido: Architecture and Richard Neutra in a Psychoanalytic Culture (2005) were published by MIT Press. Her most recent publications include Kissing Architecture (Princeton University Press, 2011), Flash in the Pan (AA Publications, 2014), and Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernization Effects (Spector Books, 2020). Lavin is also an active curator of architecture and design, having curated exhibitions such as Architecture Itself and Other Postmodernist Myths (CCA, Montreal, 2018) and Everything Loose Will Land (MAK/Schindler House, Los Angeles; Yale School of Architecture, New Haven; Graham Foundation, Chicago, 2013–14). She serves as a professor of architecture at Princeton University, having previously been the director of the master's and doctoral program at the Department of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of California, Los Angeles, which she led from 1996 to 2006. Sylvia Lavin is the recipient of the Arts and Letters Award in Architecture, awarded by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Moderated by Michaela Janečková and Irena Lehkoživová.
