Fugitive Structures
Tomahawk // Archer Breakspear: Poly
Tomek Archer and Toby Breakspear are the directors of Tomahawk // Archer Breakspear, whose gallery installation 'Poly' features in the second iteration of Fugitive Structures - an annual architectural initiative aimed at emerging and mid-career architects. Tomahawk Studios is a research and production company which operates in disciplines beyond conventional boundaries of architecture, including research, technology, product design, curating, manufacturing, licensing and procurement. Archer Breakspear is an architectural practice established in 2013, founded on the belief that architecture is fundamentally about shaping spaces that inspire many forms of occupation.

'It’s really a staging platform on which things can happen. As an artefact, it’s an incomplete artwork. It’s only complete when it is being used, and that probably makes sense for all architecture. We’d all agree that to some extent people are meant to engage with architecture.' - Tomek Archer (2014).

'The idea is flexible enough to be appropriate for inside the gallery and it could be deployed again and again in different forms and developed further over time.' - Toby Breakspear (2014)
