Artist Keith Coventry discusses the relationship between architecture and his paintings with critic Owen Hatherley and writer Michael Bracewell.
Margot Heller, director of the South London Gallery, chairs the discussion.
Taking as their starting point the schematic plans outside housing estates, Keith Coventry’s Estate Paintings employ the visual vocabulary of the Russian avant garde to show that the utopian ideals that led to the creation of widespread social housing have their roots in artistic abstraction. In these stark and compelling paintings, Coventry contends that the ultimate failing of the Modernist project was its inability to make real space for human living.
This talk coincides with the exhibition Keith Coventry: Twentieth Century Estates at Modern Collections, London.
