This term's Millburn Seminar speaker will be Prof. Jane Rendell, who is Professor of Architecture and Art at the Bartlett School, University College London. She will give a talk that looks at transititional spaces in architecture and psychoanalysis entitled 'May Mo(u)rn: A Site Writing '.

Prof. Rendell is an architectural designer and historian, art critic and writer. Her work has explored various interdisciplinary intersections: feminist theory and architectural history, fine art and architectural design, autobiographical writing and criticism. She is the author of Site-Writing: The Architecture of Art Criticism (2010), Art and Architecture (2006), The Pursuit of Pleasure (2002), Critical Architecture (2007), Spatial Imagination (2005), The Unknown City (2001), Intersections (2000), Gender Space Architecture (1999) and Strangely Familiar (1995).

This talk will be conducted in the experimental and interdisciplinary spirit of her ongoing ‘site-writing’ project, ‘which generates spatial and textual processes of art and architectural criticism out of psychoanalytic positions and modes of operation’.

The Millburn Seminar will take place on Wednesday February 8th, at 5.15pm in Room A0.28, Millburn House, followed by a drinks reception.

All are welcome
