Penelope Seidler introduces the talk that explores her late husband’s role in bringing the Bauhaus Modernism to Australia and his pivotal collaborations with other leading 20th century creative figures including architects Marcel Breuer and Oscar Niemeyer; artists Josef Albers, Alexander Calder, Norman Carlberg, Charles Perry, Frank Stella, and Lin Utzon; engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, photographer Max Dupain, and developer Gerardus Dusseldorp.

The lecture draws on Belogolovsky’s travelling exhibition Harry Seidler: Architecture, Art and Collaborative Design which is currently at Black Mountain College Museum, North Carolina (till 7 September) and comes to the Museum of Sydney (1 November 2013 – 7 March 2014). Belogolovsky is founder of the Intercontinental Curatorial Project and is also working on a book, Harry Seidler: The Art of Collaboration (Rizzoli with Massimo Vignelli), due for release in 2014.
