Jason Bruges joins us for an Artist Talk

Join us for an illuminating talk and Q&A with artist Jason Bruges as he reveals his latest work, Brutalist Tapestry, a monumental kinetic installation in the Beech Street Tunnel. 

Launching as part of London Design Festival, Brutalist Tapestry translates imagery, video, sound and binary data into tangible marks across a 21 metre artwork, bringing a new cultural connection to the space. The artwork signifies a new period of change and prompts pedestrians to consider future possibilities for this environment.

Brutalist Tapestry was commissioned by Culture Mile, a transformational initiative that will create a vibrant cultural area in the north-west corner of the City.

Led by the City of London Corporation and core partners the Barbican, Guildhall School of Music & Drama, London Symphony Orchestra and Museum of London, Culture Mile stretches from Farringdon to Moorgate, and has creative exchange, cultural collaboration and learning at its heart.
