Luca Frei will give an introduction to his long-term project about German conductor Hermann Scherchen (1891-1966) and his pioneering research in electroacoustics in Gravesano, Switzerland. Frei will discuss his role in the project as visual artist, researcher, archivist, and grandson of Hermann Scherchen, and contextualise it in relation to previous works such as his English interpretation of the book La soi-disant utopie du centre Beaubourg, written by Swiss sociologist Albert Meister, as well as his sculptural installations that reflect ways to encourage free learning and emancipatory practices.

Luca Frei, born 1976 in Lugano, Switzerland, studied in Lugano, Edinburgh, New Haven and Malmö. He lives and works in Malmö, Sweden.

The talk will be held in English.

Metod is an ongoing series of talks about working methods within the field of contemporary art and culture.
