Resulting in a series of drawings and photographic montages that highlight how the individual lives and mak es their mark within the uniformity of high-density housing. The livin g spaces within Golden Lane Estate are compact but thoughtfully design ed. A change in flooring delineates an ‘indoor balcony’ within som e studio flats, doors slide rather than open in places, light and air flow through.\n\nFifty years on from their original conception the des ign of Golden Lane Estate is still relevant to contemporary living, an d Brueton’s work goes some way towards celebrating and highlighting these design features. This exhibition follows on from ‘Societea’, a 2-week community event last summer which transformed the gallery in to a ‘tea-hut’, exchanging tea and homemade cake for conversation with the residents of the estate. In the run up to ‘Societea II: Tea , Time and Interiors’, Brueton has turned the tables this time and i nvited herself round to people’s homes for a cup of tea and a chat e xploring how they live, what they think about their space and the Esta te, and giving her the chance to document the layout of their living s pace.\n\nFocusing mainly on studio flats, where intelligent design is paramount due to the limitations of space, Brueton explored resident†™s living rooms, the primary social space within a flat. This is where you eat, socialise, and the place you welcome visitors to, in effect the most ‘public’ area of your home. Using photography Brueton cap tures the different styles, layouts, tastes and personality’s reside nts project into this space allowing the viewer to get a glimpse into the duo personal and private life of a home. Scratching beneath the un iform exterior of high-density housing, Brueton has been privileged in seeing what it looks like behind some of the colorful front doors of the estate.\n\nBrueton has also produced a series of delicately hand d rawn ‘maps’ of various flats visited during her residency. Using m apping extensively in her work, Brueton exploits a system already inhe rent within our visual vocabulary (a floor plan, a metro map …) to c ommunicate something of the way space is actually used by people and c apture an essence of a place, time and activity beyond typical cartogr aphy.\n\nPrevious examples include a project mapping the use of the Me xico City metro as a site for exchange (beggars, buskers, health care professionals immunising children, political activists spreading the w ord…), and a large scale text map capturing a snapshot of Roman Road in East London (a vibrant mix of constantly changing shops juxtaposed with businesses which have been in families for generations) and its history, as told by its shopkeepers. Using architects drawings and det ailed floor plan as a starting point, Brueton’s maps draw attention to the realities of living compactly and contrast the architect’s im agined spaces with the realities of cotemporary habitation.\n\nFor mor e information visit https://goldenlane.ning.com/events/the-seventh-sup er-estate DTSTART:20100714T173000Z DTEND:20100714T193000Z CATEGORIES:private, view LOCATION:EXHIBIT Gallery WEBSITE:http://www.exhibit-goldenlane.com/2010/07/04/societea-ii-tea-t ime-interiors/ URL:http://www.exhibit-goldenlane.com/2010/07/04/societea-ii-tea-time- interiors/ CONTACT:02072536668 ORGANIZER:EXHIBIT at Golden Lane Estate CIC ATTACH;FMTTYPE="image/jpeg":http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/ file/get/2571568170?profile=original ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED;RSVP=TRUE;CN="EXHIBIT Gallery":https://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/EXHIBITatgoldenlaneestate ATTENDEE;ROLE=REQ-PARTICIPANT;PARTSTAT=TENTATIVE;RSVP=TRUE;CN="Michael Bojkowski":https://goldenlane.ning.com/profile/MichaelBojkowski END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
