Grand Junction commended by MacEwen Award 2020

Grand Junction at St Mary Magdalene Paddington has been commended by the MacEwen Award. 

Read more

The award is given to buildings that create an architecture for the common good. Winning projects demonstrate a clear social purpose that enhances the lives of people and effectiveness of communities, or an ambitious environmental agenda, reuse and recycling buildings. 

The key aim of our project in Paddington was to revitalise the church so that it could regain its place as the social heart of the community. Throughout the project we engaged with the community through creating volunteer deign groups who contributed to the design of the building; held art workshops where the community could create tiles which would be used in the building as part of an artwork by Linda Florence; and held open days to bring people in to the church and learn about what was going on. Whilst on site we had scaffold tours; the neighbouring school buried a time-capsule; and on site volunteers contributed to the restoration of the church itself.

Tate Britain Exhibition Opens

Read more

Our exhibition of the work of John Martin opens at Tate Britain on Wednesday 21st September.

Organised in partnership with the Laing gallery, Newcastle, this is the first major exhibition dedicated to Martin’s work in over 30 years. It brings together his most famous paintings of apocalyptic destruction and biblical disaster from collections around the world, as well as previously unseen and newly-restored works.

Hugely popular in his time, Martin was derided by the Victorian Art establishment as a ‘people’s painter’, for although he excited mass audiences with his astounding scenes of judgement and damnation, to critics it was distasteful. In a sense ahead of this time, his paintings – full of rugged landscapes and grandiose theatrical spectacle – have an enduring influence on today’s cinematic and digital fantasy landscapes.
