bfi & Tate: International Symposium
By Design: Film Fashion Art Architecture

  L'inhumaine Marcel L’Herbier
Still from L'inhumaine Marcel L’Herbier, France 1924

For over a century, cinema, architecture and fashion have informed and animated one another. Their mutual collisions have defined the experience and appearance of modern life. To mark the release of Art and Design: A Source Book, a new British Film Institute catalogue, the bfi and Tate present this symposium to navigate the exciting intersections between these critical cultural bedfellows.

Featuring Giuliana Bruno, Professor of Visual and Environmental Studies at Harvard University and author of Atlas of Emotion: Journeys in Art, Architecture and Film, Mark Wigley, Professor of Architecture, Columbia University and author of White Walls, Designer Dresses: The Fashioning of Modern Architecture , and Ulrich Lehmann, Head of Course, MA in History of Design at the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art, London and other speakers to be confirmed. The event will use talks, screenings, and discussions to interrogate the mobilised surfaces, spaces and images that form contemporary life.
