"The recently completed refurbishment of the Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall (QEH) and Purcell Room was actually always part of that larger plan according to the architects, who say their appreciation of the 60s complex grew during the course of the project. ‘We liked it but we love it more now. We became more impressed with the robustness of it,’ says FCB Studios managing partner Ian Taylor of the Southbank buildings, adding that they’re of a quality that merits listing. The radical complex was developed between 1963-1968 by the London County Council’s Special Works Group of architects, which included Archigram’s Warren Chalk and Ron Herron. There’s no denying that after 50 years, these buildings, however much they were admired for their cultural activities and – by many – for their brutalist concrete aesthetic, were in dire need of an overhaul. Half a century of use had affected building services in particular – cooling hadn’t been operational in the QEH since the 1980s, and in the Hayward staff sometimes preferred to leave gallery scene-setting lighting on overnight rather than trusting that it would turn on again the next day. Key design features had been compromised, for example the Hayward’s pyramid rooflights, which had long been obscured internally by a suspended ceiling."

Italy
"Mary Cinque is an Italian painter, graphic designer and blogger working and living in the Amalfi Coast. Her works – joyful, bright, colourful painting and drawings – are inspired by this place, as well as her heritage, background and travels. Mary spent her childhood between Italy and Ethiopia. Before moving back to the Amalfi Coast in 2019, she has lived in Naples and Milan, where she attended academies of fine art; and Philadelphia, New York and London where she improved her artistic skills and style. Alongside making art, she works as an illustrator and graphic designer, collaborating with selected brands, working on artistic commissions such as illustrations, labels and showroom design. Cinque’s art develops themes connected with what makes us essentially humans: our habitat – the buildings, the streets, the cities – our bodies, what we eat and how we socialise. Art, in Mary’s paintings, becomes a powerful instrument of philosophical investigation which reveals who we really are by questioning our habits, observing those characteristic traits we share as a species, often without realising it. The artist looks at human beings from a different perspective, making interesting and significant what can seem normal or banal to us in our everyday life: the buildings that populate our cities, the streets we walk, people sitting across our table at a café, strangers on the bus. In this nutshell interview by Giulia Corti, Mary Cinque explores some of the most relevant aspects of her art and reflects on how it offers an intriguing and informative perspective about the way we live as human animals. Mary, your art is colourful and vivid, it mixes human and urban subjects by making use of various techniques (oil painting; pastel drawing, markers, “digital” drawing, print-making etc.) and materials (canvasses, magazine pages, an I-pad screen). How do you choose the means with which to develop an artwork and how do the different materials and techniques influence what you want to convey, if they do? Different subjects call for different techniques. Buildings and urbanscape are always acrylic on canvas, while I prefer to depict people using a quicker, immediate approach, like the one that I can get with markers and oil pastels or digital painting. By looking at the main themes of your art, it is possible to notice what seems to be a tension. On one hand, you portrayed the stillness and artificiality of urban landscapes and buildings (e.g.
