Today we enjoyed a morning discussion, placing all of the performance works attended thus far in the context of our Modernism notes. How do characteristics of each work relate to qualities discussed in the first class lecture? How do we begin to see and talk across the art forms?
In the afternoon we met Serge Clavé, architect and professor, for a site visit to Villa La Roche
& Corbusier’s atelier and home. Placing Corbusier’s experimentation with light and space next to Einstein’s explorations between space and time brings two great minds into sharp focus. Corbusier’s design incorporates the outside and the inside of a building into a unified 
organization. Space, volumes, and forms mirror the discoveries in the Cubist paintings.Monumenta 2008 at the Grand Palais included a solo piano recital
by Serra's friend, Phillip Glass. This was an additional event that students elected to attend.
