Madin: Some Remains, photographs by Dave.
10/04/14 – 31/05/14
PROVIDE is pleased to present an exhibition of photographs documenting the remains of John Madin’s work in Birmingham.
‘Do the very best you can at the time.’
Madin was a significant figure of post-war Birmingham architecture. His work has been much neglected and is not highly regarded by the current political leadership within Birmingham.
Since Madin’s period of dominance in Birmingham there have been very few architectural practices able to match his commercial success at home and abroad.
PROVIDE can be found in Digbeth at the Custard Factory, and its walls regularly adorn the work of local talent. All framed 12 x 8 traditional prints will be available, and are limited to 3/3.
A little more about PROVIDE:
PROVIDE is an experiment. We’re following our passions, interests, beliefs and ideals wherever they take us and collecting curious, inspiring and talented people along the way.
We produce a graphic-led line of clothing and accessories which we sell alongside books, magazines and other things we love in our retail shop in Digbeth, Birmingham.
Once a year we produce a printed magazine celebrating the creative talents of our friends, and give it away for free. When we come across an inspiring or challenging film, we share it at one of our Cinema nights, and we host a monthly gig night in Selly Oak to showcase exciting new bands.
Everything we do is motivated by three simple choices; Choose Adventure. Embrace Failure. Defy Impossible.
The opening reception of Madin: Some Remains at PROVIDE is 6-8pm this Thursday (10th April), all welcome.
