Quick note to say I’m taking part in the first issue of Format tomorrow, Tuesday 28th June at the AA , 6.30pm, on the subject of magic, design and architecture with artist Jonathan Allen and hosted by Shumon Basar. We’ll be talking about magic’s role within power structures, architectures use of magic and setting David Copperfields magic spectaculars within modernist canon. And if that’s not enough, we’ll be doing some live levitation too.
As well as being a member of the Magic Circle, Jonathan is an artist and has guest edited Cabinet 26 and co-curated the touring exhibition ‘Magic Show’ with Sally O’Reilly.
