Pavilion 3 - Arena

A conversation between Carsten Höller and Stefano Boeri, moderated by Cecilia Alemani, discussing the fluid lines between art and architecture. What happens when these two disciplines cross-contaminate? How often do contemporary artists harness architectural tools, sometimes playfully infiltrating a field that is not their own? What are the dynamics between these two spheres? This discussion starts with the work of the artists involved and explores the affinities and differences between the two disciplines.
