Congratulations @morison_studio@brightonfestival@lucy_alexandra_davies@makingitout_cio on the opening of Soft Machines on Hove seafront 🙌🙌🙌
Soft Machines is a new public artwork by Ivan Morison, developed with long-term collaborator Heather Peak.
Installed on Hove Promenade, between sea and city, it appears as a set of monumental, embodied forms. Moving from public life drawing into communal fabrication, the project foregrounds negotiations of looking, touch, trust and becoming. It began with a citywide series of open life drawing sessions, creating shared ground from which the sculptures could emerge. The works have been developed and built with Millimetre and Making It Out, a Brighton based charity supporting people after prison. Together, agricultural materials are shaped into corporeal forms held within cocooning skins.
What a way to celebrate with the Erich Mendelsohn Initiative on Erich’s birthday @delawarr . A really inspiring three day critique of the architect discussing a potential world heritage nomination. Thank you to the international initiative with representatives including Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Israel, Palestine, Poland, Italy and of course the UK.
Thank you to @haworthtompkins@seasideferry for their brilliant presentations for the UK 🙏
Thank you to @eatfreshbythesea for an amazing birthday cake 🎂
Day 1 of the Erich Mendelsohn Initiative UK conference in London with international delegates specialising in @delawarr ’s pioneering lead architect. Look forward to more great conversations over the weekend at the mothership in Bexhill.
