Our latest event in collaboration with The White Review took place on 19 November 2019 alongside Mark Bradford’s exhibition, ‘Cerberus’, at Hauser & Wirth London. This discussion brings together a panel of writers and critics who explore the potential for abstraction to disrupt and create new forms of expression, across visual and literary work.
