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.

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.
