Fredi Fischli (Kontextur Podcast Festival)

Recorded live from the Kontextur Podcast Festival at Khaus in Basel, this episode features a conversation with the curator Fredi Fischli. Fredi Fischli, along with Niels Olsen, is co-curator and co-director of exhibitions at the Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta), ETH Zurich. Together with Niels, Fredi works on projects at the intersection of architecture, art, research and teaching, resulting in exhibitions that subvert traditional formats of display by abandoning the top-down dissemination of knowledge typical to University Galleries, sharing instead their more raw and unbridled enthusiasm for forging strange new connections. resulting in such exhibitions as Unbeautiful museum (curated with Geraldine Tedder), Cloud’ 68. Collection of Radical Architecture, Home. A User’s Manual among many others. Special thanks this week to Katharina Benjamin and everyone on the Kontextur team, including Angelika HinterbrandnerPatrick Martin Rosa Thoneick and Laura Bertelt. Hosted on Acast.
