For The People
For The People : The democratisation of modernist design

A day of talks: Saturday 9th November 2019

Leaf 113-115 Portland Street Manchester M1 6DW

We have invited a range of speakers, from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines, to join us to have a day long series of talks looking at how modernist design has found its way into our every day lives. From monumental concrete public sculpture through to tea spoons, from entire new towns down to litter bins, the twentieth century saw modernism go from an obscure and elitist theoretical practise into being an aspect of almost all our lives.
Monster der Moderne
Rau, roh, robust: Bauten aus Beton wirken oft wie Trutzburgen – oder Schlachtschiffe, stolz und uneinnehmbar. Viele Gebäude der Nachkriegsmoderne gehörten allerdings auf eine Artenschutzliste, sie verfielen über Jahrzehnte und gelten als zu monströs, um bewahrt zu werden. Doch nun ist der Brutalismus wieder in den Fokus gerückt und wird als ehrliche Formsprache ohne historisierende Nostalgie gepriesen. Simon Phipps fotografiert Britanniens Betonmonster seit Jahrzehnten, wir zeigen Bilder aus seinem bei Park Books veröffentlichten Band Finding Brutalism.
