Archaeologist, journalist and artist Christine Finn opened up her parents' house in Deal last year
and sparked fascination and nostalgia. For architecture08, Christine has taken exploration of the family
home and its meaning a stage further.
Our Space Pavilion
You are invited to view the ‘Our Space Pavilion’ as it is officially opened to the public for the first time. This unique Arts Council-funded commission involved nearly 1,000 people in photo-booth workshops posing like The Long Man of Wilmington. The data from the workshops formed the foundations for the final sculpture. The resulting piece is a round steel structure, measuring approximately 5 metres in diameter by 2.8 metres high. The canopy is made up of 15 inverted red powder-coated, spun steel dishes, each one corresponding with the height and arm span of an individual. The Our Space Pavilion is a space to be inhabited by everyone and represents a creative partnership between a specialist arts school and its community, as well as between art and architecture. Thanks also to our partners East Sussex County Council Support for the Arts, BBM Sustainable Design Ltd and BEP Consulting Engineers Ltd.
