Parreno: Construction of Character

Construction of Character is a conference in two parts responding to the exhibition Philippe Parreno at the Serpentine Gallery (until 13 February). This series of events investigates portraiture and character-creations across different art forms, enquiring how a character can be created, analysed, or constructed, if at all, and whether one can speak of a fundamental ‘ghostliness’ or absence in characters, as indexes of loss and lack are often embedded in space and narrative. The second part, Constructions, on 10 February, expands on the pre-determined nature of the experience of Philippe Parreno’s exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery. Presentations and discussions will concentrate on the inscription and scripting of space and time in visual arts, film, graphic novels, animation, music, theatre and literature. Participants include: Philippe Parreno, Jérôme Bel, Janet Harbord, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tino Sehgal, among others.
