EVENTS

Examine collaborations at The Architectural Association.
I wonder if selective memory will be mentioned. This a regular occurrence in arts project management. You vow never to work with organisation xyz having lived through a 6 month tug-of-budget-war and then 3 weeks later you are planning your next joint-adventure together.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
26th May at 6:30pm

AA School Director Brett Steele hosts a conversation between pairs of collaborators who discuss their joint projects as well as the joys and pitfalls of working together.
Patrick Dickinson (film director) + Andrew Graham Dixon (art critic)
Richard Wentworth (artist) + Kit Grover (designer)

Both events at AA (Architectural Association) 36 Bedford Square, WC1B 3ES,
