Folder with PR materials and articles related to Toby Paterson (1974). The British artist is fascinated by modernism in the art of painting, sculpture and architecture, with special emphasis on its underlying ideologies. With regard to social housing projects the ideal of a malleable society led to an emphasis on efficiency, social welfare, attention to public space, and purity. Paterson usually focuses his attention on the often dilapidated modernist architecture which is gradually disappearing from the urban landscape as the result of subsequent planning and design developments. He represents these architectural elements in a tranquil, sophisticated and aesthetic manner that their inner beauty is regained. Following an intensive period of research and analysis in The Hague, Toby Paterson had an exhibition at Stroom in 2007. Years later, Paterson designed a contemporary structure for ornaments by the artist Jacques van Rhijn that had been saved from a demolished building in The Hague South West, giving them a new 'home'.
