Tobias Putrih: Jan 22

Architecture Dialogues: Tobias Putrih
Tuesday, January 22, 7 pm
Whitney Museum of American Art, 945 Madison Avenue at 75th St

Celluloid, cardboard, and helium balloons are among the materials that constitute the fabric of Tobias Putrih's inventive sculptural environments. With cinema as one of the dominant influences in his work, Putrih constructs models and large-scale sculptures that investigate the interplay between interiority and exteriority, that is, the relationship between architecture and environment as well as the relationship between psychic, imaginary space and external manifestations of those fantasy projections.

Exploring innovative practices across contemporary art and architecture, this season's series of talks looks ahead to our exhibition on R. Buckminster Fuller (summer 2008) and explores networked communities, links between the local and the global, and architectural ecosystems.

Admission: $8; senior citizens and students with valid ID $6.
