The De La Warr Pavilion has invited a number of artists and designers to come up some proposals for the De la Warr Pavilion - their ‘first thoughts’ when asked how they might respond to the building.
The artists have been given a free reign to think of new ideas that will engage with, play with, enhance, and challenge the architecture, context and site of the Pavilion. They are being actively encouraged to think ‘big’ and to create a visual proposal that is, in essence, the first idea for a possible new, temporary, intervention to the building itself.
Since 1935, the modernist Pavilion has been the source of inspiration from a range of artists, architects and designers. It Starts From Here seeks to give a fascinating insight into the powerful imagination of an artist, by illustrating the spark of inspiration at the beginning of a creative process which may, or may not, become a realised project.
All the ideas submitted will form the exhibition It Starts From Here in summer 2007. Alongside these we will show some of the early drawings of Erich Mendelsohn, the ‘first ideas’ of the architect who designed the De La Warr Pavilion 75 years ago. Also in the exhibition will be the first proposals of some great design classics – Sir Alec Issigonis’ sketch design for the prototype for the Mini (1956), Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s design for the GPO telephone kiosk (1924), Pluto the Dog (Walt Disney Studio 1936) and Henry C. Beck’s sketch of the London Underground (1931).
This exhibition is curated by Celia Davies Head of Exhibitions at the De La Warr Pavilion. It opens during national Architecture Week.
