To mark the end of his solo exhibition Living Structures, Giles Round will be joined by Richard Birkett to discuss the works in the show and wider concerns central to Round's practice.
Giles Round's solo exhibition Living Structures followed his three-month residency at S1 Artspace this summer. Living Structures presents a display of allegorical works, situating both high & low cultural forms of production side by side, including furniture, horticulture, ceramics, lighting, typography & textiles.
Round studied MA Fine Art at Middlesex University, 1999 and MA Fine Art at the Royal College of Art, London, 2002. Recent exhibitions include Kafe Pittoresk: L’Expérience du Monde Visionnaire at The Serpentine Pavilion, London, 2009, Strange days & nights in Nought to Sixty at the ICA, London, 2008 and Idealismusstudio at the Grazer Kunstverein, Graz, 2008.
