Shoreditch Town Hall

Hi deviants, I'm organizing an exhibition based on to

1. A short story by James Ballard.

I’ll tell you later on.

2. A place.

As many of the public buildings in the middle of their refurbishment course, Shoreditch Town Hall hides spaces very diverse to each other. From a main hall, finely decorated, to wider rooms, normally used for temporary events, and finally a underground heart, a labyrinth basement.
Used in the past as the “engine” of the upper building, with its offices, archives, cells and kitchens, today, this spooky cellar conserves the signs of a frantic human activity, suddenly stopped and encrusted by a thick layer of mold.
Reflecting on the vital cycles of architectural spaces, on the human imprint they preserve in respect of any over-imposed twisting, I will ask the artists to formulate “site-concerned” projects.

The next meeting is fixed for Friday, May the 4th, at 10.50am just outside Shoreditch Town Hall, 380, Old Street. If you are interested in this project, your presence is absolutely required, please try not to be late…..

By Underground or rail: Liverpool Street or Old Street stations (10 minutes walk from either). Shoreditch Station on the East London Line operates during rush hours only.

By Bus: Routes 5, 22A, 35, 47, 48, 55, 67, 78, 149, 242 and 245 stop nearby.

I’ve activated a new account for this show, please, add it to your contacts.
