GRYMSDYKE FARM

 
Workshop, Lodgings and Garden

"The core interest at Grymsdyke Farm is to establish and explore the value of a living/working practice that involves an intimate engagement with materials and processes of making in a specific place, Lacey Green. Here, we engaged in a wide range of fabrication in design and also a series of site-specific installation. Our aim is to expose, articulate and demonstrate the essential connections between processes of design, making and place.

Work by community members Studio Superniche and Guan Lee

Community member Guan Lee will be presenting his PhD, 'Grymsdyke Farm, An Architectural Practice' on 6th March at the Bartlett School of Architecture 
as part of the PhD Research Projects 2012 exhibition and conference.

Building the Revolution: Soviet Art and Architecture 1915-1935


This exhibition examines Russian avant-garde architecture made during a brief but intense period of design and construction that took place from c.1922 to 1935. Fired by the Constructivist art that emerged in Russia from c.1915, architects transformed this radical artistic language into three dimensions, creating structures whose innovative style embodied the energy and optimism of the new Soviet Socialist state.


At the Royal Academy of Arts from 29 October 2011—22 January 2012.

The Yard



Built from reclaimed materials reclaimed from London’s Olympic Park, The Yard theatre is a temporary creative and collaborative performance space that has popped-up in the city’s east district of Hackney Wick. Open for three months, summer to fall, the converted warehouse has become a site for theater, dance and opera performances by emerging directors. The Yard has also helped boost and inspire the local theatrical community.
