The work of Jean Renaudie and Renee Gailhoustet are shown within this exhibition, depicting the exploration of advanced spatial thinking of Brutalist Paris.
Rewiring Brutalism is an exhibition of archive material surrounding the Brutalist architecture of Jean Renaudie and Renée Gailhoustet. Featured works include photographic archives, found library index cards, drawings, notations and screen-based projections.
The display was originally commissioned by the Barbican Hub Space in Summer 2019 and was conceived by Nigel Green and The Bartlett’s Robin Wilson who work together as the art practice ‘Photolanguage’. This reiteration of the exhibition has been created in collaboration with a collective of Bartlett PhD students and graduates: Bartlett Doctoral Initiative Sound|Making|Space.Join sound artists Iain Chambers and Robert Worby on Thursday 14 November for a live performance of their new sonic composition in response to the collection.
