Imagination is our most powerful muscle and our greatest source of fulfilment. Find out how to exercise yours with two of the country’s most influential and creative people.
Conde Nast’s MD Albert Read is on a mission to put the imagination back at the forefront of our lives.
Touching on art, music, film, literature, science and entrepreneurship, Albert joins us to examine how the imagination has evolved through the millennia, and how you can nurture and cultivate your own creativity.
His interlocutor Will Gompertz was a Director of the Tate Galleries and is now the Artistic Director of the Barbican. A household name from his time as the BBC’s first ever Arts Editor, he’s the internationally bestselling author of books distilling his insights from a lifetime of working with and learning from the world’s most creative people.
Spanning pre-historic times through to the twenty-first century, Albert and Will will explore the genesis of ideas – from Thomas Edison’s serial embracing of failure to Jane Jacobs’ vision of how we should build cities together; from Steve Jobs’ approach to office design to the Japanese concept of Ma. They’ll teach us how to discover where to find ideas, how to foster skill in observation and connection, and how to be more attentive to the fluxes of our own minds.
In the new Age of Technology, it is more pressing than ever to harness the imagination in our day to day lives. Find out how in this one of a kind meeting between two of the most imaginative, influential, and celebrated figures in the creative industries today.
