The estate, built as social housing for the poorest in London in the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s, was built according to brutalist architectural principles. This style is functional and raw with the ideological intention of creating a modern social utopia. Monolithic multi-level concrete blocks interconnected by raised walkways, that separate residents from street level and traffic, were developed and fittingly termed \u2018walkways in the sky\u2019.  Over the last fifty years the estate, like others, has become a notorious hot spot for crime and poverty and deemed more of a dystopia.  With the added advancement of aggressive social cleansing the estate is being demolished with the community being displaced and gentrified.\n\nI aim to create works that portray elements of beauty and intimacy within these seemingly desolate spaces. These works will exist as performances and actions or ephemeral installations enabling me to re-engage with exterior spaces around the estate. Rather than portraying this domain and the multi-cultural community living within it in a negative light, I want to embrace the complexities of living on such an estate as a fellow resident.  I aim to develop performance works that speak of larger emerging contexts - ie COVID 19, Black Lives Matter - with the backdrop of the estate forming a certain perspective. I aim to challenge the status quo and perceptions of a so-called underclass.","space":"This exhibition will exist as a website that can be accessed anytime from anywhere in the world. There will be a program of performances listed during the period of the exhibition that I plan to undertake in real time. The performances once completed will be available to view as documentation. The website will act as a space of creation and develop over time as actions, installations, and objects are created, documented and uploaded. This will accumulate over 14 days.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/421929389   https:\/\/vimeo.com\/410262857    https:\/\/vimeo.com\/223462787   https:\/\/vimeo.com\/223524164  https:\/\/vimeo.com\/255585129","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":9,"names":"Andrea","surname":"Greenwood","email":"andrea.greenwood01@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"544914515","address":"46 Missenden, Inville Road, SE17 2HT","city":"London","nacionality":"British","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1982-12-20T00:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1982-12-20T00:00:00.000Z","telephone":"07756727820","web":"www.andreagreenwood.co.uk"}
