Wolfgang Tillmans Talking The Pompidou Out

In the last week of his exhibit, Nothing could have prepared us — Everything could have prepared us, Wolfgang Tillmans is shutting down the Centre Pompidou with a series of three talks [via crousel]:

in le ciel comme écran #1 on 16 Sept, Tillmans and Joël Vacheron discuss the artist’s astronomy and sky photography;

in l’ère de la post-vérité on 20 Sept, Tillmans and two French political scientist philosophers, Asma Mhalla and Yves Citton talk about post-truth public opinion digital technologies social networks emotion tbqh, idek.

And the next day, 21 Sept., in le Musée à venir / The Museum to come, Tillmans and Mark Wigley talk about the transformation of cultural institutions.

It does not look like any of these talks will be streamed, and no indication yet they’ll be archived. And the second one sounds like a million talking head shows on France 2. But honestly, it’s one of those mornings where you wake up and just look for any excuse to yeet yourself tf out of here.
