Review of My Life In Art

30 Sep 07, 20:50

Nice space, some good stuff 3*

Small contemporary gallery that is relatively brave in what it shows (ie it is not just aimed at the bloke furnishing his loft and hasn't the increasing blue chippery of Vyner Street either).

Generally worth a pop in for 5 minutes if you are in the area for the market, the bookshop or pie and mash. The guy who runs it is nice and approachable which is good.

Shows some younger, up and comings - not highly priced - artists, sometimes their twoperson shows are slightly odd combinations but there's usually some interesting work included.

Review of Modern Art

Always worth a look 4*

One of the easier to find blue chip art spaces on this street chock full of commercial galleries that are all disguised as anonymous industrial units.

Beautiful exhibition space and a consistently good set of shows, never seen a bum one. This gallery was one of the first serious players that put Vyner Street on London (nay Europe)'s contemporary art map and it has maintained its must-see lead in my opinion.

If you are in the area, go see whatever they are showing, even if not your cup of tea you can be pretty sure it will be first rate and stimulating not-your-cup-of-tea.

Best thing about where I live Broadway Market and Columbia Road, Victoria Park and my studio, the great transport links and that it's not as up itself as Hoxton (yet).
Worst thing about where I live No one can ever find my flat without being guided in like an air hostess in a 70s disaster movie

More about me A painter into objects, words and buildings. Sensible dayjob, doing corporate words and pictures, necessitated by the scarcity of rich art patrons. Into recycling and making things grow.
