SUMMARY:Desire to Create: Baťa's Architecture of Belonging - PRIVATE VIEW
DESCRIPTION:FreeExhibition marking 150 years of Tomáš Baťa explores his vision of work\, community and modernist design\, brought to life in East Tilbury. \n\n\n\nThe Czech Centre London\, in collaboration with the Tomáš Baťa Foundation and the Bata Heritage Centre\, marks the 150th anniversary of Czech entrepreneur Tomáš Baťa\, founder of the global Baťa Shoe Company\, with an exhibition exploring his achievements\, guiding principles\, and their realisation in East Tilbury. It reveals how ideas about work\, culture\, sport\, health and community were embedded in the design of the built environment. \nThe exhibition unfolds in two complementary strands. Desire to Create presents Baťa’s legacy as a comprehensive philosophy\, uniting work with service\, enterprise with education\, and personal development with responsibility towards others – not as a relic of the past\, but as a continuing source of inspiration. Baťa’s Architecture of Belonging brings East Tilbury to life through architectural drawings\, historic photographs and original artefacts\, evoking its distinctive modernist atmosphere. Together\, they trace how ideas were translated into built form – from vision to planning\, from planning to everyday life – creating a cohesive narrative of belonging\, work and community. \nOrganised by the Czech Centre London in partnership with the Bata Heritage Centre. \nEXHIBITION DATES: 10 April – 12 June 2026 \nVENUE & OPENING TIMES\nVitrínka Gallery\, Czech Centre London\n30 Kensington Palace Gardens\, London\, W8 4QY\nOpening hours: Tue – Fri 10 am – 5 pm

SUMMARY:Klára Hosnedlová: Echo
DESCRIPTION:11 Feb 2026 – 29 Mar 2026 \nWhite Cube Bermondsey will open a solo exhibition of work by Klára Hosnedlová\, marking the artist’s debut with the gallery. Klára Hosnedlová’s corporeal\, immersive installations address utopian visions and imagine our future\, post-nature selves. Conceived as part-stage\, part-laboratory\, ‘Echo’ combines her signature photo-realist embroideries with architectural elements\, large-scale sculpture and textile works and living mycelium fungus. Incorporating performance elements and accompanied by a soundscape\, the artist choreographs a fictional narrative around themes of flux and transformation. \n\nKlára Hosnedlová (b. 1990\, Uherské Hradiště) is a Czech artist based in Berlin whose practice examines historical perception through utopian design and architecture. Responding to specific sites\, she researches experimental projects and past futurisms\, exploring how nostalgia shapes contemporary culture. Drawing on science fiction\, technology and ecological systems\, Hosnedlová creates immersive installations with a tactile\, “futuristic archaeological” atmosphere. Part of the first post-Communist Czech generation\, she is inspired by modernist and Brutalist architecture in Central and Eastern Europe and its intersections with politics\, history and mythology. Her work combines sculpture\, performance\, photography and embroidered panels and has been exhibited internationally\, including at Kunsthalle Basel\, Kestner Gesellschaft and the Lyon Biennale. \nFor more information about the exhibition please visit White Cube Bermondsey website \nOrgansied by White Cube Berdmonsey.

SUMMARY:John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture
DESCRIPTION:To coincide with the publication of his book\, John Vanbrugh: The Drama of Architecture\, Charles Saumarez Smith will give a lunchtime talk on Vanbrugh’s extraordinary life: his upbringing; why he spent so much time in a French gaol; the writing of The Relapse and The Provoked Wife; and how he came to design Castle Howard with no previous experience of architecture. Saumarez Smith will give particular attention to Vanbrugh’s work as a theatrical impresario and the designer of the Queen’s Theatre\, Haymarket\, so disastrous as a venue for plays\, but where all of Handel’s early operas were performed. He will then describe Vanbrugh’s quarrel with the Duchess of Marlborough and his later work as an architect\, at King’s Weston\, Claremont\, Grimsthorpe\, Seaton Delaval and Stowe. In recent years\, Vanbrugh’s reputation as an architect has been eclipsed by his subordinate\, Nicholas Hawksmoor. This talk and the accompanying book will explain Vanbrugh’s originality and influence on later architects from Robert Adam to Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown. \nCharles Saumarez Smith is a writer\, curator and art historian. He has served as Director of the National Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery\, London\, as Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts\, London\, as Professor of Architectural History at the Royal Academy of Arts\, and Chairman of The Royal Drawing School and The Watercolour World. He is currently a Trustee of the Garden Museum\, and Emeritus Trustee of ArtUK and Charleston. \nCopies of the book will be available for purchase in the Foyer at a special price. \nFurther details of the book available here

SUMMARY:9005 – Solo Exhibition by Othello De’Souza-Hartley
DESCRIPTION:For his solo exhibition at Bomb Factory Art Foundation conceptual artist Othello De’Souza-Hartley has teamed up with architect Laura Büchi and sound artist Elliott Buchanan who share his interest in the inter-dependencies of mind and body\, inner peace and external structures. \nDe’Souza-Hartley examines the human body and its imperfections by drawing parallels between skin tones and textures and architectural structures\, in particular the subtle variations evident in cast concrete. Working exclusively in black he creates tension by contrasting smooth surfaces with thick crusts of paint and integrating discarded objects and building materials into large scale paintings. \nThe exhibition title refers to the code number for pure black\, according to a colour chart dating back to 1920s Germany which is still used as standard by architects and designers today. The body of work in 9005 questions the pursuit of perfection and the hierarchy of materials\, reflecting the artist’s belief that art transcends notions of division or rank. \nA tranquil composition of structural\, material and sonic elements complements the large scale paintings surrounding it. Blacking out the external distractions of city life\, the collaborative sculpture provides a tranquil sanctuary for introversion and contemplation. \n  \n24 October – 9 November 2024 \nWednesday – Saturday\, 1-6pm (Thursday 7pm)\, Sunday 11am – 5pm \nThe Bomb Factory (Holborn)\, 99 Kingsway\, London WC2B 6QX

SUMMARY:Talk: The Invention of British Art - Chelsea History Festival
DESCRIPTION:You have to try really hard\, it seems\, to like British art. Even its admirers concede it has contributed little to world art history. Tate\, the closest thing we have to a gallery of British art\, assigns less than a quarter of its display space to works made before 1900. Outside Britain\, only one gallery in the whole world is dedicated to British art\, in Yale. Few people visit it. \nWhy is British art so overlooked? Is it because Britain itself has never been enthusiastic about art\, and indeed remains ill at ease with it today? Is it\, quite simply\, bad? Or has British art suffered an injustice\, its impact on the world unfairly disregarded? \nNone of these questions can be answered without a frank reassessment of the history of British art\, those who made it\, and those it was made for. Now\, leading art historian Bendor Grosvenor is taking on that challenge. Looking at key moments\, objects and individuals from every era\, he explores how they were shaped by their environment\, and why – above all – it took so long for the art from theses isles to actually become ‘British’. \nFrom folk art to the role of female artists\, from the influences of invaders to the territories of the British Empire\, the story of British art is just as much a story of Britain’s place in the world\, and its impact upon it\, as the art and artists themselves. \nBendor Grosvenor is an art historian specialising in Old Masters and British art. Best known from the BBC series ‘Britain’s Lost Masterpieces’ and ‘Fake or Fortune?’\, he has discovered a number of important paintings by prominent artists including Van Dyck\, Rubens\, Titian\, Gainsborough\, Beale and Lawrence.

SUMMARY:Vladimir 518: Rethinking Architectural Narratives in Czech Architecture 1958 -1989
DESCRIPTION:Organised as part of this year’s London Festival of Architecture\, this event will see Czech visual artist and musician Vladimir 518 discussing his seminal publication ‚Architecture 58 – 89‘. \nWhile post-war architecture from the former Eastern Bloc is highly regarded by foreign architects and students\, its perception in the Czech Republic is marked by considerable ambiguity. Often\, it is negatively labelled as communist architecture of low value\, deemed highly ideological\, and seen as in need of replacement. Utilising two significant milestones—Expo 58 in Brussels and the 1989 Velvet Revolution— Vladimir 518 will reassess the Czech and Slovak architectural landscape during this period with the aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation in order to reset the perspective of the general public and preserve those landmarks for future generations. \n  \n‚The overwhelming body of so-called communist architecture has little in common with this ideology in terms of its formal aspects\, yet a layer of negative emotions and misunderstanding still clings to it. Unfortunately\, in the long term it has been impossible to find a healthy relationship with this now historical architecture\, which is why one important building after another is disappearing from the streets of our cities. If we as a society fail to preserve at least what is left of the quality buildings from the beginning of the second half of the 20th century\, we will erase a piece of our own history and cultural memory once and for all.‘  Vladimir 518 \n  \nOrganised by the Czech Centre as part of London Festival of Architecture 2024. \nImage: Photo: Vitkovice Archive a.s.

DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 15th\, April\, the London Home Show will return to the capital for the tenth year. The UK’s largest dedicated event for first-time buyers will take place at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in Westminster between 10 am – 5 pm\, offering hopeful first-time buyers a wealth of information on affordable homeownership schemes\, including Shared Ownership\, Discount Full Ownership and London Living Rent. Since launching in 2013\, the London Home Show has welcomed over 60\,000 hopeful buyers through its doors\, giving them face-to-face access to some of the housing industry’s biggest names. \n\n\n\nHosted by Share to Buy\, the UK’s leading online portal for first-time buyer homes\, the London Home Show will give guests the opportunity to discover hundreds of affordable homes available across London and Home Counties. The free-to-attend exhibition is an invaluable resource for those looking to purchase a home\, giving budding buyers the opportunity to discuss their house-hunting journey and financial situation with industry experts\, receiving vital information\, advice and guidance. \n\n\n\nThe hugely popular ‘Affordability Workshops’ will be returning for spring 2023\, giving those looking to purchase a home the chance to hear from first-time buyer mortgage specialists Censeo Financial. The specialised workshops will give attendees the opportunity to ask questions about the mortgage process and learn about the options available to them. \n\n\n\nGuests will also be able to attend ‘Ask the Expert: Shared Ownership 101’ sessions\, where a panel of housing associations\, mortgage brokers and solicitors will talk through the Shared Ownership application process in detail and take questions from the audience. \n\n\n\nBrand new for 2023\, Dutton Gregory Solicitors will be hosting a seminar where attendees can have their legal questions answered\, alongside other insightful ‘First Time Buyer Workshops’ including sessions with HomeViews\, the UK’s only review site dedicated to residential properties\, and specialist mortgage lender\, Generation Home. \n\n\n\nNick Lieb\, Head of Operations for Share to Buy\, comments: “We are delighted to be celebrating ten years of the London Home Show. With the government’s Help to Buy scheme officially ending this month\, it is now more important than ever to provide hopeful first-time buyers with information about their alternative homeownership options.” \n\n\n\n“Since Help to Buy closed to new applications in October 2022\, we have seen a huge surge of interest in Shared Ownership on our portal\, so we expect to see many new faces at the spring show. Whilst there is a vast amount of information online\, nothing compares to being able to ask questions in person\, and for all of these potential purchasers who are only just discovering schemes like Shared Ownership and London Living Rent for the first time\, getting their questions answered face-to-face will be vital.” \n\n\n\nPartnering with some of the sector’s leading housing providers\, financial advisors\, specialist solicitors and sales agents\, sponsors of the event include Southern Housing New Homes\, SO Resi\, FABRICA\, Guinness Homes\, L&Q\, Peabody\, Square Roots\, Notting Hill Genesis\, SiteSales Property Group and Dutton Gregory Solicitors.

SUMMARY:Breaking Ground – A Regenerative Approach exhibition
DESCRIPTION:How does architecture respond to our climate and ecological emergencies? How does the urban design respond to women’s safety and community cohesiveness? \n\n\n\nGbolade Design Studio is celebrating 5years of practice\, and ‘Breaking Ground’ is set up as a provocation to the public. We are living with the consequences of an extractive design and construction system. How must we now act to become responsible and inclusive stewards of our future. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition explores five key themes using the practices’ projects which adopt sustainable and regenerative approaches to respond to some of these pressing issues in society. Themes include; city-shaping\, retrofit\, net-zero homes\, community-building\, and innovation in construction. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition itself has been designed to be as sustainable and regenerative as possible\, with recyclable boards being used and an after-exhibition reuse plan. The practice has chosen to work with local businesses and suppliers\, including printers\, plant suppliers\, and catering companies. \n\n\n\nThe venue\, The Africa Centre\, was selected due to its close proximity to Southwark Station\, with the practice encouraging all visitors to use public transport\, rather than driving\, wherever possible. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition has been designed with hopes to inspire the next generation of built environment specialists to challenge ideas of what a regenerative future might be. To this end\, Gbolade Design Studio have arranged school tours with local primary schools.
