Thank You

Unfortunately, the exhibition is now closed. We'd like to thank everyone who showed their support, helped us and visited the exhibition. It was a great success for us in many ways. We will be posting some installation shots, a review and some of the feedback we received so please do stop by again and take a look. Thanks again!

We are here all weekend

The exhibition opening times are

Friday 22nd July - 10.00-18.00

Come down and say hello, look at some beautiful photographs and have an orange juice.

As we are located smack in the middle of bricklane, why not have a day of art, crafts, coffee and curry.  Here's a few places we recommended to swing by either before coming to see us or afterwards...

Check Cafe Naz for a great Bricklane coffee, one of the only curry houses not to tout outside, and they don't need to.

The Opening Night

The opening night went really well, we managed to get all the last bits done and were ready to go at 17.55.
The space looks great, we had a great turn out and have had some great feedback.

Here's a few pictures.

Private View tonight!

So after many months of organising, a lot of tears, sweat and tantrums (a couple) we have finally reached the exhibition date.  All the work is hung on the walls, we just have a few things to finish today, such as re-touching the walls, cleaning the floor and the toilet (worst job) and setting up the bar (best job).

Here are a few more snaps from yesterday...

A local coffee shop on Brick Lane has been helping us through.

Our mascot? Not sure of her name but she was keeping us company. 

The exhibition catalogues...we only have 250 of these so get there early to avoid disappointment!! 

The London

A taster from Tania Olive's series 'The London', which looks at spaces within the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, East London.
