Pina at Phoenix

It's an immensely attractive film that uses 3D interestingly to create theatrical space and it makes one want to learn more about Bausch and the development of her art. I most enjoyed a piece in which the company, wearing lounge suits and full-length dresses, process around a theatre, then along the rim of an abandoned quarry to Louis Armstrong and His Hot Five's version of "West End Blues". FILM SET IN THE COLLERIES OF RUHR VALLEY...

This series was curated by Robert Mull and Kieran Long of London Met Architecture and Spatial Design to place the work of the school in relation to broader debates about the city. The lecture series ran contemporaneously with political and economic shifts, and the website will provide a living archive of the lecture series. You will find transcripts, recordings, and presentations from the lectures and the follow up events.

James Stirling: Notes from the Archive
5 April – 21 August 2011

"It is eighteen years since James Stirling’s death, and he is long due a retrospective exhibition. Given his close association with Tate, in the form of the Clore Gallery and Tate Liverpool, Tate Britain is an especially appropriate place to review his work. This exhibition, curated by the renowned architectural writer Anthony Vidler, draws on the Stirling archive held at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal. It will be presented in the Clore Gallery, designed by Stirling and opened in 1987. Unfashionable at the time, it, like its designer, is the subject of renewed interest and appreciation. The exhibition will cover the whole of Stirling’s career, from the iconic Engineering Building of 1959 at Leicester University through to the late 1990s, including built and unbuilt projects, drawings, photographs and furniture."
