Pablo Bronstein (b.1977) lives and works in London. His work dissects the ideologies embedded in architecture: the promotion of a certain idea of power and its implication on social history. His intricate drawings merge a wide variety of styles, from Italian renaissance to contemporary design. The utopian buildings they represent contain a sense of the absurd, of void reminiscent of De Chirico’s early paintings. Pablo Bronstein’s interest also encompasses contemporary architecture. For Frieze Art Fair commission programme in 2006, he presented an architectural tour of London’s most lauded and most loathed buildings of the 80’s and 90’s, ‘focusing on the politics of architectural style during the Thatcher years’. For Tate Triennial (2006), he worked with Baroque dance amateurs to create Triennial Plaza, a choreography highlighting the way body and architecture interact and how space can be navigated and inhabited.
