Case study: ‘In Common’ photography exhibition and ‘private view’ event
As part our continued campaign to raise the profile of TODD Architects in London and simultaneously raise funds for the Jill Todd Trust, Satellite MPR proposed a photography exhibition and accompanying evening event and auction as part of London Festival of Architecture 2023.
Titled ‘In Common’, the event was launched in partnership with Arup, and presented a creative way to offer increased exposure for TODD Architects to the London marketplace, provide valuable networking and business development opportunities for the team, while simultaneously raising vital funds for the work of the Jill Todd Trust.
Using our extensive contacts across the built environment and media spectrum, Satellite MPR approached a select list of the UK’s leading architecture and property photographers to participate. Working in close liaison with both TODD and Arup teams, we co-ordinated the overall running of the event, organising the gallery space and the evening ‘private view’, whilst also working closely with the photographers on print and curation, as well as the London Festival of Architecture team to ensure promotion.
The ‘private view’ event held on the evening of 15 June was attended by over 100 people drawn from across the property, business and built environment sector, providing valuable networking opportunities for both TODD Architects and Arup. The event also kickstarted the auction and played a vital part in raising funds for the Jill Todd Trust.
The photography exhibition ran for two weeks, in both physical and virtual form, and provided rich content for TODD Architects’ ongoing PR and social media channels. The exhibition featured works by Janie Airey, Anthony Coleman, Martina Ferrera, Chris Hill, Martine Hamilton Knight, Danica O. Kus, Joe Laverty, Paul Lindsay, Donal McCann, James Newton, Kilian O’Sullivan, Jim Stephenson, Morley von Sternberg, Edmund Sumner and Sophie Wedgewood. In addition, there was a signed work donated by the contemporary British photographer, Hannah Starkey, who has collections held by the Tate Modern and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
