30 March: Pablo Bronstein talks to Clare Gough

On Thursday, 30 March 2023, the series continues with Argentinian artist Pablo Bronstein in conversation with Clare Gough, the founding Director of Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery.

As an artist whose practice spans drawing, installations, choreography, and live performances, Bronstein has established himself as a leading figure in contemporary art. In this talk, Bronstein and Gough will explore his fascination with architecture, which began during his childhood in Neasden, northwest London, and how it continues to inform his work today.

It promises to be a fascinating exchange about the intersection of architecture and art.
