ArcSoc talks: Gavin Keeney
Tue 30 April 2013
Architecture, Department of
Utilising the multiple arts of the late French filmmaker, Chris Marker (1921-2012), and drawing on the recent monograph, Dossier Chris Marker: The Suffering Image (2012), 'Chris Marker and The Multiple Arts' explores the truth-telling apparatuses of the image in both Architecture and Art, resituating Architecture in the now-imperiled Humanities, while also discussing the image as a paradoxical, semi-autonomous object that is nevertheless haunted by both past and present cultural events, plus timeless existential-metaphysical concerns – ghosts.
Gavin Keeney is an editor, writer, and critic. His most recent publications include: Art as “Night”: An Art-Theological Treatise (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2010), a survey of meta-painting from Velázquez to Gerhard Richter; “Else-where”: Essays in Art, Architecture, and Cultural Production 2002-2011 (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2011); and Dossier Chris Marker: The Suffering Image (Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2012). He has taught in architecture schools in the US and Australia and is the Creative Director of Agence ‘X’, an editorial and artists’ and architects’ re-representation bureau. His current research concerns theories of visual agency in Art and Architecture. He is currently a PhD candidate at Deakin University, School of Architecture & Built Environment, in Australia, and a recipient of an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship from the Australian Government.
