E.A.T./Engadin Art Talks是在晶莹剔透的冬日仙境瑞士阿尔卑斯山的Zuoz举办的一个论坛，每年1月底举行，已成为著名的思想领袖和颠覆性思维的聚集地。该活动由苏黎世艺术馆馆长丹尼尔·鲍曼、阿尔勒文森特·梵高博物馆艺术总监比斯·库里格、伦敦蛇形画廊艺术总监汉斯·乌尔里希·奥布里斯特和苏黎世瑞士联邦理工学院艺术与建筑史教授菲利普·乌尔斯隆共同策划。

艺术家、建筑师和科学家们每年冬天都会聚集在一起，交流具有社会政治意义的思想和对艺术未来的愿景，而《凭空思考》让我们有可能体验到他们的想法。在Engadin艺术讲座十周年之际，本书对这个活动的特殊氛围发表了见解。这本书被设计成一个图板的样子，可以从任何方向阅读。它展示了参与者的作品，并以短文、素描和艺术作品的形式，为深入了解我们这个时代一些最重要的艺术家的思想和实践提供了一个有趣的视角。

E.A.T./Engadin Art Talks, the forum in Zuoz in the crystalline winter-wonderland of the Swiss Alps, takes place at the end of January each year and has become famous as a meeting point for thought leaders and disruptive minds. The event is curated by Daniel Baumann, director of the Kunsthalle in Zurich, Bice Curiger, artistic director of the Vincent van Gogh Museum in Arles, Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries in London, and Philip Ursprung, a history of art and architecture professor at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. Thinking in Thin Air makes it possible to experience the ideas of the artists, architects, and scientists who gather every winter to exchange thoughts of social-political relevance and visions of the future of art. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Engadin Art Talks, this book provides an insight into the special atmosphere of this event. Designed like a pinboard, it can be read from any direction. It presents works by the participants, and offers a fascinating insight into the thinking and practice of some of the most important artists of our time in the form of essays, sketches, and works of art.
