From Classical Ideas of Dynamism to Today’s Return to Tyrannies: Mikhail Iampolski with Denis Maksimov

From Classical Ideas of Dynamism to Today’s Return to Tyrannies: Mikhail Iampolski with Denis Maksimov

Tue, 23 September6 : 00 PM
Location 5a Bloomsbury Square, Pushkin House

On September 23, Pushkin House will host a lecture-conversation between Mikhail Iampolski and Denis Maksimov. The talk builds on Iampolski’s forthcoming book The Impossibility of a Garden: The Ancient Greeks and the Invention of Dynamic Form (2026), which challenges the view of classical form as static and eternal, showing it instead as rooted in movement and temporary stillness.

The discussion will explore how these ideas apply not only to Greek sculpture but also to politics: how unanimity and immobility can turn democracy into tyranny. Iampolski and Maksimov will examine the relevance of ancient Greek thought to contemporary culture and power.
