Gallery for Russian Arts and Design. Chaired by Prof John Milner, of the Courtauld Institute of Art, the event examined the designs of Constructivist artists Lissitzky, Klucis, Rodchenko and Tatlin, as well as discussing the idea of reconstruction as embodied by the works of Henry Milner. Speakers included museum curators, such as Willem Jan Renders from the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven and Maria Tsantsanoglou from the Costakis Collection, Thessaloniki, as well as academics such as Christina Lodder, of the University of Kent, Canterbury. The event ended with an illuminating discussion between the speakers and Henry Milner, whose re-imagined Constructivist structures are on display in the exhibition.
