This talk is inspired by “Air Package”, an artwork dating 1968 by famous duo Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude. I cover a number of artists who used air as art material for artistic experimentation, transforming the invisible into a powerful artistic material, challenging our perception: Christo/Jeanne Claude, Marcel Duchamp, Hans Haacke, Otto Piene, Marta Minujín, Lee Bul, Giuseppe Penone, Yves Klein, Ann Veronica Janssens, Olafur Eliasson, Marina Abramović. The talk lasts 1 hour including time for Q&A's.

Roberta’s love for art and architecture borders on "obsession"—and she’s happily embraced it! Her special passion lies in Modernist architecture, which led her to earn a Graduate Certificate with distinction in History of Art and Architecture from Birkbeck University. That was actually her second degree—her first career is in Economics, with over 20 years of experience in the fast-paced world of financial markets. Now, she channels her energy into making art and architecture not just informative, but fun, relatable and engaging for everyone. She’s the founder of Art Tours with a Theme – ART wiT, a London-based project offering themed tours and talks that bring the city’s creativity to life. You can follow her curated art and architecture adventures on Instagram @artwit_london and Facebook @artwitlondon.
