Alvaro Barrington in conversation with Alice Rawsthorn as part of the 'By Design' series

By Design is a talk series at Sir John Soane’s Museum, in partnership with Luke Irwin. Internationally renowned designers are invited to discuss their practice through a single object from the Museum. In this talk, Alice Rawsthorn talks to artist Alvaro Barrington.

Inspired by Sir John Soane’s own extraordinary collection, and co-hosted by Will Gompertz, Director of Arts and Learning at the Barbican, and Alice Rawsthorn, award-winning design critic and author, the talk – large or small, mundane or exceptional, aesthetic or utilitarian – to spark new ideas, and act as a spur for different forms of creativity.
