Betts Project presents the UK’s first solo exhibition of Australian artist and architect Richard Goodwin, who evolved from architect to sculptor before developing a unique role as a sculptural installation artist on buildings and public projects.

Spanning work from the 1990s to 2017, the exhibition shows Goodwin’s intensive research in ‘Porosity’, which describes for him the urban propositions of parasitic architecture that can expand the uses of public space and open up the city. In this new role he has opened up new dimensions in the planning of urban spaces and in the way architecture interacts with its physical and cultural context.

Goodwin’s work proposes the acceptance of irresolution as a characteristic architectural aesthetic, by challenging the barriers between sculpture and architecture. ‘Porosity’ is a term that he interprets as the barrier-free connection between public and private domains that resists the forceful contemporary tendencies to sanitise, compartmentalize and eventually alienate public space. In this way, Goodwin aims to return character to our cities and make them stimulating places where people congregate with a genuine sense of community.
