LECTURE

THE INFINITE INTERIOR OF FRIEDL DICKER:
VIENNA 1898 AUSCHWITZ 1944 NEW YORK 2023

Professor Mark Wigley, Columbia University

One of the first and strongest students at the Bauhaus in 1919, Friedl Dicker was ultimately more Bauhaus than the Bauhaus—developing a unique trans-disciplinary mode of practice that crossed architecture, interior design, theater sets, fashion, textiles, accessories, painting, photo-collage, graphic design, typography, toys, and pedagogy. This lecture explores the unique sense of interior that Dicker constructed, an architecture to both defend people from a relentlessly brutal exterior world and to free individual creativity in daily life. Dicker’s gift was an unbinding interior, an agile but ultimately fragile space that was systematically erased along with so many of those sheltered within it. Yet the space survives in lingering archival traces that are themselves defiant witnesses—and provocations for design in multiple contexts today.

Mark Wigley is Professor of Architecture and Dean Emeritus at Columbia University. He is a historian, theorist, and critic who explores the intersection of architecture, art, philosophy, culture, and technology. His recent books include: Konrad Wachsmann’s Television: Post-Architectural Transmissions; Passing Through Architecture: The 10 Years of Gordon Matta-Clark; Cutting Matta-Clark: The Anarchitecture Investigation; Are We Human? Notes on an Archaeology of Design (with Beatriz Colomina); and Buckminster Fuller Inc.: Architecture in the Age of Radio. He has curated exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art, The Drawing Center, Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Het Nieuwe Instituut, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, and the Power Station of Art in Shanghai.

LECTURE

1048 FIFTH AVENUE: FROM MANSION TO MUSEUM

Professor Andrew S. Dolkart, Columbia University

“Whose home was this?” Guests at the Neue Galerie frequently ask this question as they enter the elegant space that houses one of the world’s finest collections of Austrian and German art of the early 20th century. Join Andrew Dolkart for a colorful history of the museum’s home at 1048 Fifth Avenue, from the building’s construction in 1914 to present day.

He has written extensively about the architecture and development of New York City, focusing in particular on the city’s vernacular building types and how they influenced the character of neighborhoods.

FILMBAR

NEUTRA – SURVIVAL THROUGH DESIGN

Directed by PJ Letofsky. 2019. 100 min.

The film begins in 1892 Vienna with the birth of Richard Neutra and continues by taking the viewer inside his most important works as an architect – the Luckenwalde Forest Cemetery, his first built “house” design in Berlin, working with Frank Lloyd Wright at Taliesin, Rudolph Schindler’s Kings Road House, the family home VDL House in Los Angeles, and the Palm Springs Kaufmann House. The illustrious cast of “storytellers” include the family sons Dion and Raymond Neutra, Barbara Lamprecht, Thomas Hines, Alan Hess, Volker M. Welter, Harriet Roth, and “starchitects” Norman Foster, and Moshe Safdie. Join us on this eye opening journey into the life, work and times of Richard Neutra.

Filmbar is a movie series hosted by Neue Galerie New York, and we are delighted to present this special edition in conjunction with Archtober. Filmbar tickets include one complimentary drink and snack, and a movie screening in Café Fledermaus, a relaxed bar atmosphere reminiscent of early 20th century Vienna. During the screening, you are invited to sip on a glass of wine, beer or a non-alcoholic beverage and enjoy a savory treat.
