Exhibition 'Brutalist Imaginaries: Radical Architectures of Oxford and Paris'
Photolanguage (Nigel Green & Robin Wilson)
Special opening of the exhibition from 6.00pm on 23 January (sold out).
The exhibition runs from 19 January to 30 April 2026, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm.
Entry is free and open to all.
Brutalist Imaginaries brings together architectural photography of Oxford and Paris, recording the legacy of brutalist architecture in both cities, from the 1960s to the 1980s. From research developed over a decade, it reveals correspondences in architectural style and philosophy, in the emergence of radically new expressions of spatial design within and beyond the historic cities. It combines different modes of photography and experimental combinations of image and text, re-presenting Oxford and Paris as utopic spaces of architectural difference.
Founded in 1998, Photolanguage (Nigel Green & Robin Wilson) explores the legacies of modernism across urban and landscape sites through experimental arts-based methods. They have exhibited in major venues in the UK and mainland Europe including the Institut Français, South Kensington, the Museum of Garden History, Lambeth and the Barbican Centre. They are authors of the book Brutalist Paris (Blue Crow Media, 2023).
