Join us for a panel discussion exploring the gap between interior design and the world of ideas. If formal criticism is a mainstay of architecture and the various arts, not to mention food and fashion, why not interiors? Panelists Mitch Owens (Architectural Digest), Suzanne Stephens (Architectural Record), and Chad Laird (New York School of Interior Design) will weigh in, considering the intellectual stakes of design in a discourse-obsessed age. Co-sponsored with the Sir John Soane’s Museum Foundation.
Student tickets are free. Please email info@soanefoundation.org to reserve student tickets.
Join us for a season of lectures that challenge us to rethink our role as observers and arbiters. Painter and printmaker William Hogarth (1697-1764) commented on the culture, politics, and bawdy social surroundings of daily life in 18th century London. His contemporary and fellow Royal Academician, Sir John Soane, viewed Hogarth as a powerful creative figure whose work defied classical norms, and had to be judged by a different standard. We will explore the ongoing legacy of art as a tool for social criticism as well as Hogarth’s attempts to define aesthetics through analytical diagrams and essays including The Line of Beauty.
The Soane Foundation’s 2019-2020 Lecture Series coincides with the Museum’s exhibition Hogarth: Place and Progress, on view from October 9, 2019 – January 5, 2020. In this exhibition, supported in part by the Foundation, all of Hogarth's surviving painted series will be united for the first time to examine his complex views on morality, society and the city.
