LIVING WITH BUILDINGS
with Iain Sinclair at Erno Goldfinger's home at 2 Willow Road NW3
Thursday 26th April 2018
Doors open at 6:30 pm, Talk commences at 7:00 pm
The structures we choose to inhabit absorb our histories and leave traces for future generations to read. Iain Sinclair embarks on a series of journeys, to explore the conflicted relationship between sickness and structure. He investigates the equation between art, architecture and social planning. And he considers the notion that we refine our own pathologies until we locate the buildings in which to plant them.’
He is incapable of writing a dull paragraph (Scotland on Sunday)
Sinclair breathes wondrous life into monstrous, man-made landscapes (Times Literary Supplement)
If you are drawn to English that doesn't just sing, but sings the blues and does scat and rocks the joint, try Sinclair. His sentences deliver a rush like no one else's (Washington Post)
