I am very happy to announce that we have managed to get Owen Hatherley, a big inspiration behind Austerity Nostalgia to come to Swansea for a talk and discussion at Galerie Simpson on Sunday 15th January.
I’ve been reading his work on architecture, social commentary and the past for a few years whether it be his books like The Guide to the New Ruins of Great Britain and the more recent The Ministry of Nostalgia or his Guardian articles.
I just think he’s bang on the money.
It’s an exciting thing that he is coming to Swansea as part of the exhibition.
A light brunch will be served in true wonderful Galerie Simpson style.
Owen Hatherley
