What promise does the modern hold for artists, architects, designers, social and cultural thinkers? Or is our contemporary fascination with modernism merely nostalgic—a doomed attempt to reconstitute something that has passed? What does modernism mean for the present? How can we even critically reflect upon such questions if we are still living within modernity? These and other questions will be debated by a panel of speakers in the first of a new series of discussions designed to engage key topics galvanising thinkers and practitioners.
Speakers include: artist Lisa Crowley, film theorist Minette Hillyer (Victoria University of Wellington), art historian Ann Stephen (University of Sydney), design historian Christopher Thompson. Chaired by artist Gavin Hipkins.
