Every Saturday the Serpentine Gallery hosts talks and seminars for the public. This winter prominent artists, poets, curators and academics discuss themes connected to the
Lygia Pape exhibition and the Neo-Concrete movement.
This week, Nick Thurston presents and reads from his print-based projects, and discusses their relationship to Concrete practices and poetics from Brazil and Europe.

He has exhibited and performed internationally, and his editions and artworks are owned by public and private collections around the world, including the Tate (London), the Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven) and the Bibliothèque Nationale (Paris).
