Et Tu, Brute? Exhibition

  • Oscar Warr

An exhibition proposal that has the primary aim of communicating the story of Brutalist Architecture to the people of Jersey. Designed by architect Friedrich Tamms, the concrete fortifications, built by the Germans on Jersey during the Second World War, had a widely unknown influence on the Brutalist ethic, inspiring the robust forms, materials and ethos seen in buildings worldwide. Using the space inside one such fortification, Marine Peilstand 3, Et Tu, Brute? provides an exhibition experience that sheds light on these links through investigation and exploration, whilst also querying the movement's place in the contemporary world.
