Celia Paul & Marina Warner: Objects of Desire

Tessa Hadley: Alone With a Book In Objects of Desire Celia Paul, perhaps the most significant artist working in Britain today, records her artistic practice while working alone during an artist’s residency in Venice. Inspired by the art and literature of the city, Paul meditates on love, grief, ageing and belonging, but above all on her primary vocation, that of a painter. She will be in conversation with cultural critic and LRB contributor Marina Warner. Please note: our events start promptly at 7 p.m., so please arrive in good time. St. JOHN next door will be open until 6.55 p.m. for wine, house cocktails and snacks.
