BEYOND WORDS is a reunion of some of Britain's boldest thinkers from the 1960s. From Archigram, the Avant Garde architecture collective who’s (largely unbuilt) bold designs influenced buildings like the Pompidou Centre. To Ian Hamilton Finlay, a concrete poet, artist and sculptor, who is one of Scotland’s most celebrated and moving artists. Each of the figures featured in this exhibition reimagined the possibilities and the structure of their fields, mostly to initial outrage, but 50 years down the line, their influence is clear. 

This year, in honour of the LFA’s 20^th anniversary their theme is ‘Reimagine’. It’s hard to imagine a more apt theme for architecture in 2024, as our industry faces huge challenges that can only be overcome by unwavering creativity. As in the 1960’s, Britain today faces austerity, political unrest and an overwhelming sense of greyness that is not just limited to our skies. This group of artists, architects, poets and creatives redefined the boundaries of their practices in a way that changed each one for the better. By examining their work and influence, hopefully it might encourage a new era of creativity and reimagination that will strengthen and diversify our great cities.

We will be hosting a Private View (RSVP only, space is limited!) on Thursday 20^th June, from 6-8 pm at our East Dulwich studio – please follow the link below to RSVP, we’d love to see you there.
