Malleable Architecture

Malleable Architecture is a multi-disciplinary art exhibition by sculptor and Leverhulme Trust Artist-in-Residence Zoe Schoenherr exploring the role of the moving body in constructing our perception of the built-environment, taking place in UCL's real-world-scale engineering laboratory.

Malleable Architecture takes an innovative approach to analysing architecture through movement, by applying it to investigating the body's relationship to the interior of a London double-decker bus.

The exhibition features a large-scale curved wooden sculpture inspired by the Möbius strip, along with a performance from Holly Thomas, working with her experience as a Contact Improvisation dancer and learning from her perception through visual impairment. The exhibition also features an audio and visual artwork, Scores, which was created from the combination of quantitative and qualitative data from recordings of dancer Kaajel Patel's movement, and a site-specific group exhibition called Induction Loop with a number of artists inviting the public to rethink the interior of a bus.

Opening night and reception (open to the public): Wednesday 28 October, 18.30 - 20.30
Please note that the Induction Loop bus installation will take place on the opening night only, and the movement performance will take place on the opening night and panel discussion evenings only.

Open Thursdays - Saturdays, 11am - 4pm, no booking necessary.

Panel discussion: Monday 9 November, 19.00 - 20.30
