Brutalism represents a complex phase in the technological drive of modernity, but how is it relevant today?
Join Photolanguage and sound artists and composers at the Langham Research Centre as they come together to explore questions about our present time, about the spaces we continue to inhabit collectively, and society’s response to them - through music.
Building on the radical, brutalist architecture and avant-garde sound and music composition of Paris of the 1960s and 70s, we are transferred to London to intersect with the sounds and surfaces of the brutalist interior of the Barbican.
The project follows on from Photolanguage’s production of a Brutalist Map of Paris for Blue Crow Media (2016), and includes imagery and recordings from buildings by Le Corbusier, Oscar Niemeyer, Jean Renaudie and Renée Gailhoustet.
