http://www.egs.edu/ Lewis Baltz visual artist, philosopher and photographer in a public open video lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2004.‹a href="http://www.egs.edu/"›European Graduate School, Media and Communication Studies department program‹/a› Lewis Baltz, born 1945 in Newport Beach, California, became an icon of the New Topographic movement of the late 1970s. Baltz graduated from San Francisco Art Institute in 1969 and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Claremont Graduate School. He received several scholarships and awards including a scholarship from the National Endowment For the Arts (1973, 1977), the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship (1977), US-UK Bicentennial Exchange Fellowship (1980), and Charles Brett Memorial Award (1991). In 2002 Lewis Baltz became a Professor for Photography at the European Graduate School in Saas-Fee. Baltz is now living in Paris and Venezia. His entire work is focused on the counter-aesthetic of photography, searching beauty in desolation and destruction. Baltz images describe the architecture of the human landscape, offices, factories, and parking lots. His pictures are the reflection of control, power, and influenced by and over human beings. His minimalistic photographs in the trilogy Ronde de Nuit, Docile Bodies, and Politics of Bacteria, picture the void of the other, in 1974 he captured the anonymity and the relationships between inhabitation, settlement, and anonymity in The New Industrial Parks near Irvine, California (1974). He moved to Europe in the late 1980s and started to use large colored prints. Several books and articles featured his creations including Geschichten von Verlangen und Macht, with Slavica Perkovic. Scalo, Zurich and New York, 1986. Other photographics series, including Sites of Technology (1989-92), depict the clinical, pristine interiors of hi-tech industries and government research centres, principally in France and Japan. His books and exhibitions, his "topographic work", such as The New Industrial Parks, Nevada, San Quentin Point, Candlestick Point (84 photographs documenting a public space near Candlestick Park, ruined by natural detritus and human intervention), exposing the crisis of technology and of man, had an enormous influence[citation needed] on a generation of photographers trying to define both objectivity and role of the artist in photographs. The story Deaths in Newport was produced as a book and CD-Rom in 1995. His works have been presented in numerous exhibitions around the world, and appear in museums such as The Museum of Modern Art, Paris, Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and The Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. He writes for many reviews, and contributes regularly to L'Architecture d'Aujourd'hui.

http://www.egs.edu/ Hans Ulrich Obrist, Swiss curator, art critic, artist, scientist, writer, curator, composer, architect, thinker talking and lecturing about his interviews and discussion with Philippe Parreno and architects, urbanists, scientists, linguists, philosophers and non-mainstream filmmakers, conversations between the temporal dimensions of visual production, the essay Postman Time 1992, the amount of time it takes to look at an art work and how this experience is framed: the postman delivers a package, and then it's up to the recipient, to make something of this, the notion of how an exhibition could be structured not as a progression of physical objects, but around the notion of time, itself. Asking questions about the concept of exhibitions and audience: Could we realise a group show in which artists would not be given space, but some kind of temporality? Would it be possible for an exhibition to be delivered to audiences, rather than require them to walk through a gallery? Il Tempo del Postino, a show at the Manchester International Festival is the product of these discussions, a first effort at filling a missing trajectory within the history of exhibition-making. Hans Ulrich Obrist in a public open video lecture for the faculty and students of the European Graduate School, Media and Communication Studies Department Program, EGS, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2004. Hans Ulrich Obrist, born in Zürich, Switzerland, 1968 founded the Museum Robert Walser in 1993 and began to run the Migrateurs program at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris where he served as a curator for contemporary art. He presently serves as the Co-Director, Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery, Kensington Gardens, in London. The Swiss curator Hans-Ulrich Obrist began studying economics and politics before he focused on contemporary art and the organization of extraordinary international exhibitions for which he has since gained wide acclaim. The exhibitions, events, and performances often take place in spaces not previously used as exhibition venues. He curated exhibitions at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, at the Kunsthalle Wien, the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg, the Serpentine Gallery in London, Art Basel, Biennale, La Biennale di Venezia, and the PS1. Among his most important publications are: World soup Munich 1993, Delta X Regensburg 1996, Unbuilt roads: 107 unrealized projects Ostfildern 1997 Vito Acconci im Gespräch mit Hans-Ulrich Obrist, 1993; Text: Schriften und Interviews / Gerhard Richter, ed., Frankfurt am Main 1993; Félix González-Torres im Gespräch mit Hans-Ulrich Obrist, 1994; Bertrand Lavier: Argo, ed. 1994; Dara Birnbaum im Gespräch mit Hans-Ulrich Obrist, 1995; Christian Boltanski im Gespräch mit Hans-Ulrich Obrist, 1995; Annette Messager.

http://www.egs.edu/ Heiner Goebbels, German composer and music director talking about composing for directors, theatres, operas, theatre plays, performances; discussing his life, stories, work, professional and artistic experiences as well as the concepts of sound, noise, acoustic space, Berthold Brecht, separation of elements, change of formats, Elias Canetti, Eraritjaritjaka. Public open lecture with students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007. Heiner Goebbels. Heiner Goebbels, born August 17 1952, studied Sociology and Music in Frankfurt/Main, is a composer notable for his mixture of drawing from sources as varied as music, jazz, and rock music. He started playing Eislerian music in a duo with saxophonist Alfred Harth and composing music for theatre, film, and ballet, and has continued to do so, although he has since then broadened his repertoire to concerts and his oeuvre has recently come to include the opera Landschaft mit entfernten Verwandten (Landscape with Distant Relatives, 2002). Goebbels co-founded the avant-garde rock group Cassiber (1982--1992) with Harth, Chris Cutler and Christoph Anders. They toured extensively across Europe, Asia and North America, and made five albums. Much of his better known work, however, originated from his close collaboration with the East German writer Heiner Müller, resulting in stage compositions as well as shorter pieces (concerts as well as audio plays) loosely based on Müller texts, such as Verkommenes Ufer (Waste Shore, 1984), Die Befreiung des Prometheus (The Liberation of Prometheus, 1985), or Wolokolamsker Chaussee (Volokolamsk Highway, 1989). Goebbels' attempts to fill the space between theatre and opera left blank due to traditional genre borderline drawing has led to projects such as Schwarz auf Weiss (Black on White, 1996) or Die Wiederholung (The Repetition, 1997). The political nature of his work is often referred to by critics. His interest in Heiner Müller can partly be explained by the political character of Müller's texts, as may be the case with his interest in Bertolt Brecht and Hanns Eisler, works by the latter he used in composing his staged concert Eislermaterial (1998). Goebbels' work is being increasingly acknowledged as he is being played and staged around the world and as his recordings are being published. His Surrogate Cities, a work for big orchestra dating from 1994 and featuring texts from Paul Auster, Heiner Müller, and Hugo Hamilton, was nominated for a Grammy in the category Best Classical Contemporary Composition at the 43rd Grammy Awards in 2001. His Eislermaterial won him another Grammy nomination at the 46th Grammy Awards in 2004, this time in the category Best Small Ensemble Performance (with or without conductor). In recent years Heiner Goebbels enjoyed the privilege of several guest professorships and nominations for composer-in-residence.

Ettinger at a public open lecture for the students of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007 Born in Tel Aviv (and of Israeli and British nationality), Bracha L. Ettinger received her Ph.D. in Aesthetics of Art from the University of Paris VIII, a D.E.A. in Psychoanalysis from the University of Paris VII, and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She is the Marcel Duchamp Professor of Psychoanalysis and Art at the Media & Communications Division, European Graduate School (EGS), Saas-Fee. She lives in Paris. Bracha L. Ettinger presents an original theoretical exploration of shared affect and emergent expression, across the thresholds of and memory. Ettinger works through Lacan's late works, the anti-Oedipal perspectives of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as object-relations theory to critique the phallocentrism of mainstream Lacanian theory and to rethink the masculine-feminine opposition. She replaces the phallic structure with a dimension of emergence, where objects, images, and meanings are glimpsed in their incipiency, before they are differentiated. This is the matrixial realm, a shareable, psychic dimension that underlies the individual unconscious and experience.

http://www.egs.edu/ Jean-Luc Nancy, philosopher, author and writer, and Claire Denis, filmmaker and director, discussing and screening L'Intrus, The Intruder, text, book, and script for the movie of the same name. Philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and filmmaker Claire Denis in a free public open video lecture for the students and faculty of the European Graduate School EGS, Media and Communication Studies department program, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007. Jean Luc Nancy. Jean-Luc Nancy, born 26 July 1940, is a French philosopher. His first introduction to philosophy was in his youth in the Catholic environment of Bergerac. Jean-Luc Nancy graduated in philosophy in 1962 in Paris. He taught for a short while in Colmar, and then in 1968 he took on a position as an assistant at the Institut de Philosophie in Strasbourg. In 1973 he received his doctorate with a dissertation on Kant under the supervision of Paul Ricœur. He was then promoted to maître de conférences at the Université des Sciences Humaines de Strasbourg. In the 1970s and 1980s he was guest professor at universities all over the world, from the University of California to the Freie Universität in Berlin. His international reputation has grown, and he has been invited as a cultural delegate of the French ministry of external affairs to speak in Eastern Europe, Britain and the United States. In 1987 Nancy received his docteur d'état from the Université de Toulouse-Le-Mirail, under the supervision of Gérard Granel and with a jury including Jean-François Lyotard and Jacques Derrida. It was published as L'expérience de la liberté 1988. In the last part of the 1980s and early 1990s Nancy had to take a break from his active career because of illness. He underwent a heart transplant, and his recovery was made more difficult by a long-term fight with cancer. He stopped teaching and quit participation in almost all of the committees with which he was engaged; however he never stopped writing. Many of his best known texts were published during this time. A moving account of his experience entitled L'intrus The Intruder was published in 2000. Today he remains an active philosopher, speaking around the world at many philosophical congresses and writing ceaselessly. He is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Strasbourg . Filmmaker Claire Denis has made at least two movies inspired by Jean-Luc Nancy and his works. Many other artists have worked with Nancy as well, for example the artist Soun-gui Kim. Nancy has written about the filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami and also appeared prominently in the film The Ister. He is the author of Le Discours de la Syncope 1976 and L'Impératif Catégorique 1983 on Kant, La remarque spéculative translated as The Speculative Remark, 2001 on Hegel, Ego sum 1979 on Descartes and Le Partage des Voix 1982 on Heidegger. Other major influences include Derrida, Bataille, Blanchot and Nietzsche. His first book, published in 1973, was titled Le Titre de la Lettre The Title of the Letter, and was written in collaboration with Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe. In this critical study of the work of Jacques Lacan, Nancy's main critique of psychoanalysis is that Lacan puts the metaphysical subject to task but does so in a manner couched in metaphysics. Nancy has continued to critique psychoanalytic concepts since this book, believing like the Law, Father, Other and Subject to be worth studying but warning against the theological remnants embedded in psychoanalytical language. Claire Denis born 21 April 1948 is a French filmmaker and director focusing on the human condition, cross-cultural tensions and family troubles. Claire Denis was born in Paris, France, and raised in colonial Africa, studied economics, went to the IDHEC, the French film school, and served as assistant to Jacques Rivette, Costa-Gavras, Jim Jarmusch, and Wim Wenders. She prefers location work over studio work. She sometimes places her actors as if they were positioned for still photography. She uses longer takes with a stationary camera and frames things in long shot, resulting in fewer close ups. Her debut feature film Chocolat 1988, a semi-autobiographical meditation on African colonialism, won her critical acclaim. With films such as US Go Home 1994, Nénette et Boni 1996, Beau travail 1999, Trouble Every Day 2001, and Vendredi soir 2002 she established a reputation as a filmmaker who has been able to reconcile the lyricism of French cinema with the impulse to capture the often harsh face of contemporary France. Claire Denis was a band leader, worked as an actress, notably in Venus Beauty Institute 2000, and directed for French TV. Two of her movies L'Intrus and her contribution to Ten Minutes Older: The Cello were inspired by the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy.

http://www.egs.edu/ Michael Hardt, the author of Multitude and Empire talks about love, how can love function as a political concept, why love, the proper and improper ways love has functioned politically, love as activism, and evil and its relationship to love. Public open video philosophy lecture for the faculty and students of the European Graduate School, Media and Communication Studies Department Program, EGS, Saas-Fee, Switzerland, Europe, 2007. Michael Hardt. Michael Hardt, born 1960 is an American literary theorist and political philosopher based at Duke University. Perhaps his most famous work is Empire written with Antonio Negri. The sequel to Empire, called Multitude: War and Democracy in the Age of Empire, was released in August, 2004, and details the of the multitude (which Hardt and Negri initially elaborated in Empire) as the potential site of a global democratic movement. Sometimes referred to as the "Communist Manifesto of the 21st Century", Empire proposes that the forces of current oppression, namely - corporate globalization and commodification of services (or "production of affects") have the potential to fuel social change of unprecedented dimensions. Born in Washington DC, Hardt attended Winston Churchill High School in Potomac, Maryland. He studied engineering at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania from 1978 to 1983. In college during the 1970s energy crisis, he began to take an interest in alternative energy sources. Talking about his college politics, he said, "I thought that doing alternative energy engineering for third world countries would be a way of doing politics that would get out of all this campus political posing that I hated." After college, he worked for various solar energy companies. Hardt also worked with NGOs in Central America, doing tasks like bringing donated computers from the U.S. and putting them together for the University of El Salvador. Yet, he says that this political activity did more for him than it did for the El Salvadoreans. In 1983 he moved to Seattle to study comparative literature. From there he went to Paris where he would meet Negri and write his dissertation under Negri's guidance. Michael Hardt speaks fluent French and Italian, and is Professor of Literature and Italian at Duke University. In 2006, he was a member of the group of 88 Duke professors who signed a statement supporting the accuser in the Duke rape case.
