URBAN TALES will showcase three distinct architectural artwork series exploring visions of narrative based city redevelopments. Featuring RIBA Presidents Medal-winning work, these original and engaging threads of imagery from UCL architecture graduates Ned Scott, Nick Elias and Anja Kempa objectify fiction and challenge political reality. The exhibitors question the role of architecture in a changing world and use fictional narratives to design fantastical, but possible, cities. URBAN TALES will kick off with an opening party on Friday, March 6 and remain on view through April 10, 2015 at Carousel London. Read on to learn more.
The exhibition's three featured projects have been widely credited and critiqued and are a must see for anyone interested in poetry, drawing, story-telling as well as architecture. The drawings themselves stand alone from the rich narratives as individual works of art with incredible detail. They capture moments in time of these wondrous worlds, and explore the potential future of London, Slough and Tokyo.
Located in the heart of Marylebone’s burgeoning restaurant scene, Carousel’s stylish three-storey space is home to a carefully curated programme of chef residencies, art exhibitions, acoustic sessions and events - offering contemporary design and art in its most innovative, yet unconventional state, Carousel welcomes you to this imaginarium from the 6th March to the 10th April.
