ARCHIGRAM BEYOND ARCHITECTURE REMIX 2013

27 Apr-16 Jun 2013

Overview

Archigram return to Modern Art Oxford with a remix of their original 1967 exhibition Beyond Architecture - an installation of multilayered sound and projection which was presented throughout the galleries. As though the sights and sounds of vibrant city locations such as Piccadilly Circus, London, have been transported to the Piper Gallery, this new exhibition presents thousands of images, sounds and music from popular culture, condensed together in one gallery. Archigram Beyond Architecture REMIX 2013 includes projected images collected since the late 1960’s to the present day and integrates a montage of music and sound that overlaps to create an intense visu al and audio experience. Archigram were a collective of radical young architects working in London in the late 60's and early 70’s. They proposed alternative possibilities for the design of cities in reaction to the modernist idea and the broader social and political context of the time.
