Uren and Upwards: Hornsey Town Hall and its History

The modernist masterpiece of Hornsey Town Hall is a Grade II* listed building recently renovated as part of a private sector development. Opened in 1935, it was the centre for the Borough of Hornsey, and its architect Reginald Uren also created a Town Hall Square flanked by electricity and gas showrooms, making local government at the heart of the local community. Visit the Assembly Hall and Committee Room, the Chamber and Mayor’s Parlour, and learn about the materials used and the design vision for the Hall.

Ruth Selig is an Architect and Printmaker. She recently returned to university to study Fine Art, majoring in printmaking. She graduated with a First-Class Honours degree and received the prize for Best Printmaking Practice.

Ruth’s technical background and interests in architecture & modernism influence her printmaking. She experiments with different media, mixing up, layering and constructing abstract images – uniting choice and chance.

Just before its long closure for refurbishment, Ruth made a series of photolithographic prints based on Hornsey Town Hall in Crouch End. These prints were selected for various exhibitions including for the V&A Museum “Inspired By” competition, showcasing new works inspired by their collections. They reference and draw parallels with the V&A collection of William Morris and his involvement with architecture and craft.

You can see some of these prints in the Town Hall function room/cafe, and others will be displayed during Crouchend Open Studios Art Trail on 9th & 10th May.
