Engadin Art Talks 2010
Zuoz/Engadin, 28. & 29. August 2010
E.A.T. / Engadin Art Talks
Doug Aitken, Bechtler Stiftung, Cerith Wyn Evans, Simone Forti, Bijoy Jain, Kasper König, Josiah McElheny, Philippe Rahm, Camilo Restrepo, Hans-Jörg Ruch, Beatrix Ruf, Nina von Albertini
Intro
This year, E.A.T. will bring art and architecture together in dialogue. International figures will take part in chaired panel discussions addressing aspects and ideals of alpine architecture and art in terms of their own projects and how they relate to the situation and visions of the Engadin region.
With the artists Doug Aitken, Josiah Mcelheny, Simone Forti and Cerith Wyn Evans, and the architects Nina von Albertini, Bijoy Jain, Philippe Rahm, Camilo Restrepo and Hans-Jörg Ruch, a wide range of views are represented, each taking a different approach to the Engadin.
The discussions will help to showcase ways in which the alpine region in general and the Engadin in particular can be perceived, as reflected in the many diverse proposals and completed projects by architects and artists.
I am delighted that Beatrix Ruf, director of the Kunsthalle Zürich and Hans Ulrich Obrist, co-director of the Serpentine Gallery, London, have agreed to take helm of the Engadin Art Talks.
For E.A.T.: Cristina Bechtler, August 2010.

The conversations took place in the Halle am Plazzet at the civic centre in Zuoz on Saturday, 28th August 2010.
