Phylum Artist Talks Vol. II: Jonathan Luckhurst and Dr Fidel Meraz
From Bristol’s bathhouses to underground greenhouses – two artist-researchers reimagine what we build and why.
Discover the work of Dr Fidel Meraz and Canadian artist Jonathan Luckhurst, two artist-researchers pushing architecture beyond pure functionality and aesthetics towards a built environment that serves people and the planet.
Jonathan Luckhurst will present his project Proposals for Reimagined Futures which looks to the Earth's distant past to understand how to survive its future.
Dr Fidel Meraz explores how cultural identity, history and sensory perception shape the way we experience buildings — and what that means for the spaces we share. He'll explore his current work at the historic Jacob Wells Baths, soon to become Trinity Arts Centre's additional new home.
Format:
Two 20-minute artist presentations, followed by a live Q&A.
The evening concludes with an opportunity for networking.
