We really enjoyed having artist Kate Maestri with us and delighted to share these installation images of her works-in-progress in our mezzanine space as well as in-situ around the Brunswick Centre.

These carefully considered forms demonstrate the abstract understanding Kate developed of the building during her residency. With the use of a cyanometer, they quite literally reflect the sky, with minimalist sculptural forms of solids and voids, capturing lasting moments of light as it activates the architectural volumes.

See the installation views here.

We've really enjoyed having artist Adam Knight with us for our second Autumn/Winter 2021 residency. Adam has delved into various archives, conducting detailed research into The Brunswick Centre’s history. Inspired by this research – and his first-hand experiences of being in the architecture – Adam has been developing several ideas for new works.

These playful climbing holds have been formed to various angles, indentations and imperfections in the Brunswick’s concrete structure and are made according to the artists’ grip. The grips are an attempt to connect with the concrete surface and open up spaces left behind from renovation and building work. We’ll be having Adam back in early 2022 for an open studio event where he will share works developed on the residency. Join our mailing list if you’d like to be kept up-to-date on future events.

Passengers is pleased to announce Adam Knight as the second Being in Architecture artist in residence in our Autumn/Winter 2021 programme. Adam’s current work explores the legacy of post-war socialist architecture; how objects are understood, felt and contextualised in the present-day.

We’ve really enjoyed having Kate Maestri with us, over the last month. Here she is out on the terrace with one of her 3d collages that explores the light of the cascading glass facades of the ‘winter gardens’ – each flat on the Brunswick’s layered terraces has glazed windows that provide views of open skies. The design also ensures each flat gets 2hours of direct sunlight a day We’re looking forward to having Kate back in early 2022 for an open studio event where she will show more developed work from the residency. Further information to be released early next year. In the meantime, please follow Kate’s instagram @katemaestri_studio for further updates as her work progresses Thanks Kate for all your attentive work responding to being in the architecture of the Brunswick Centre ✨

Passengers is pleased to announce Kate Maestri as the first Being in Architecture artist in residence in our Autumn/Winter 2021 programme. Kate will be developing a new body of work based on the intimate experience of Modernist architecture that the residency offers. Having the opportunity to immerse herself within The Brunswick Centre’s daily rhythms, she is interested to see how the work changes as she gains a deeper understanding of the building. Kate plans to make a site-specific colour palette inspired by the Brunswick Centre as well as a series of photographs reflecting different colours and elements of this ‘village in the sky’. These will inform a series of small scale, three dimensional glass wall sculptures.

Less a building takes the hiatus of the  aviary's redevelopment in the early 2020s as an opportunity to consider the structure anew, exposing it as a powerful catalyst for experimental thinking and making We are now taking orders via our store here.

The Unfolding Terrace Poppy Whatmore, Fiona Grady, Ben McDonnell Fri 6 – Sun 8 August 2021

Opening hours: 10am – 6pm Opening event: Fri 6 Aug, 6–8pm All welcome In conversation: Sun 8 Aug, 4pm

Passengers is pleased to present this three-person exhibition featuring work by Poppy Whatmore, Fiona Grady and Ben McDonnell on the second floor podium level of The Brunswick Centre, the location of our headquarters. During month-long residencies, each artist made explorations of the building’s many walkways, stairwells and alcoves, forming personal responses to being in this architecture. The resulting works, brought together in this exhibition, challenge the perception of the building’s fixed concrete structure. Visitors are invited to embark on their own journeys around unfolding terraces, linking these different avenues of thought and activity.  Read more.

Passengers are pleased to announce Ben McDonnell as our third ‘Being in Architecture’ artist in residence. Over his time with us Ben will work on a series of images that blend analogue and digital 2d and 3d imaging techniques to re-present the architecture at the Brunswick as unfixed and responding to the needs of those that occupy it. Ben also intends to make a series of graphic transcriptions, a form of notation, to consider how the architecture is inhabited with sound.
