Contemporary ceramics meets brutalist architecture in a free, one-off exhibition beneath the concrete Y-columns and fluted canopy in what was originally a petrol station at the base of the landmark 1960s office building, Space House.
Soon to be fitted out as a new restaurant, this is a rare chance to see brutalist architectural structures and materials in their raw form juxtaposed with contemporary ceramics, displayed on furniture by Case, including the timeless 'Dulwich' table range designed by Matthew Hilton and the iconic 'Forum' seating collection designed by Robin Day.
Artists: special guests Jane Cairns and Sue Gunn. New work by ceramicspace founder members Julia Bennett, Sophie Cohen, Susan Feldman, Marie-Louise Munch, Vicky Thornton and Rebecca Williams.
About Space House: Commissioned by property tycoon Harry Hyams in the 1960s, Covent Garden’s Space House was designed by Richard Seifert & Partners, the same architecture practice behind the Centre Point building. Built between 1964-1968, the geometric, cylindrical landmark tower and its sister building, The Block, have recently been refurbished by specialised creative office developer Seaforth Land working with Squire & Partners as Architect.
Private View: Wednesday 26 March, 6-9pm
Thursday 27 & Friday 28 March, 10am-6pm
There will also be a limited number of tours of the Space House building between 11am and 2pm on Friday 28 March - full details to be announced nearer the time.
