Eye Magazine

Phil Sayer’s photographs of Soviet architecture (below) go on show alongside the uncomprimisingly minimalist metal sculptures of Robert Marsden tonight at the Marsden Woo Gallery in London.

The architectural forms of Marsden’s machined miniatures can easily be imagined at a much larger scale, and when seen side-by-side enter into a compelling relationship with Sayer's photography. Sayer’s images, Originally commisioned by Eye Art Director Simon Esterson for Domus magazine in 2001 (see spreads, below), demonstrate his mastery of the black-and-white form.

See ‘Manhattan in Moscow’ and ‘Contradictions’ at the Marsden Woo Gallery from 10 February–19 March (private view 9 February 2011).
