Wednesday lecture about the German conductor Hermann Scherchen

Luca Frei will give an introduction to his current project about German conductor Hermann Scherchen (1891-1966) and his Electro-Acoustic Experimental Studio in Gravesano, Switzerland. Frei will discuss his role as visual artist, researcher, archivist, and grandson of Hermann Scherchen, and contextualise his methodology of work in relation to his previous long-term research on and around the book La Soi-disant Utopie du Centre Beaubourg (The So-called Utopia of The Centre Beaubourg) written by Swiss sociologist Albert Meister in 1976.
