Primarily known for his architectural drawings and clay models, legendary Russian artist and architect Alexander Brodsky joins Thomas Weaver, editor of AA Files, for an evening of conversation. The discussion will cover aspects of Brodsky's life, from his upbringing in Moscow in the 1950s, his education under the tutelage of a number of key members of Soviet Russia's avant-garde, the celebrated etchings he produced with his great friend Ilya Utkin, the Paper Architecture movement that developed around this work, his brief sojourn in New York in the 1990s, and the continuing art and architectural work he has produced since his return to Moscow at the start of the millennium.
The conversation will be paralleled by an opening of Brodsky's more recent drawings and clay works at Betts Project, London.
The Architecture Foundation, in association with the Barbican, presents Architecture on Stage – a programme of talks and debates.
