TRES HERMANAS HOUSE

This project seeks to fulfill the desire shared by three sisters. A home built in the landscape and tradition of the area, environmental friendly and full of corners to enjoy.
This refuge is generated from three independent units, three sisters and their families, three cottages with great views and good guidance but also with a certain intimacy between them. Three houses together but no riots, a field, a common courtyard, a place to fit all the cousins, a place to fit all friends.
As housing architectural object is to merge with the surrounding landscape, a valley of vineyards and olive groves, making clear its geometry confusing and expectant materiality, pending a more contextual determinants of herself. An uninhibited architecture that awaits to transform over time, as the sun is coming back gray facades and signs are appearing of a joyful life.

ORIGAMI AND PAPER | MARC FICHOU

In this work, ORIGAMI & PAPER, the artist Marc Fichou, wants create a piece where the image cannot be separated from its referent, thus creating a visual link between past and present. This concept naturally led him towards origami because of the reversible character of its folding process: each can be unfolded back to its creases. In his series, the sheet of paper contains both the photographic and the material memories of its past origami form.Origami and paper are one and the same thing at two different times, in two different spaces and in two different shapes.

As for representing animals, a form associated with the outside world, it enables one to first direct the gaze towards the three-dimensional space of the picture. Then, once a mental connection is made with the medium, the attention is drawn back to the surface of the paper and to our own material space. The final piece is both a photograph and a sculptural object where folds in the picture blend with the real folds, thus blurring the line between image and matter

MVMNT Café by Morag Myerscough

It started as an empty corner of our site on Greenwich High Road and Waller Way, just yards from the entrance to Greenwich DLR. Then came some containers, some bright pots of paints and the vision of Morag Myerscough.

An amazing team lead by the Danny Elphick worked tirelessly on the construction of the cafe whilst Morag’s team went about creating a beautiful entrance to the Royal Borough of Greenwich, using the words from ‘Shipping Good’, a poem written for the MVMNT by official Olympic poet Lemn Sissay about Greenwich, on a colourful hoarding down the length of Waller Way.

Then Claire Pritchard from the Greenwich Co-operative Development Agency brought along some helpers for the finishing touches and started to get the cafe in shape for visitors. They will be running the cafe for us, providing passers by with locally sourced, delicious food and drink including homemade vegan-friendly gelato.

And then we opened. All in time for the first day of the London 2012 Olympics where thousands of people are due to pour off the train at Greenwich to enjoy the greatest show on earth. It’s a lovely, warm and welcoming space where we’ll also be hosting weekly poetry and music events in throughout the summer.
