NCR 'shop' (Gallery)

[jumpinjackflash]

There may already be a post on the forum regarding this but wouldn't know how to search for it. Can anyone tell me the purpose of the white shop on North Cross Road (LL end) displaying a TV screen in the middle of the floor and nothing else? Does it serve a purpose or is it just arty farty pretentious rubbish?

Thanks

Art.

The TV is Art? Or the shop sells art?

it's sort of a gallery and has different displays on at different times of year

It has 2 or 3 rooms which are sometimes open to different works

Ok...thanks for clarifying Sean

Thank god for art if just to confuse/annoy.

Somebody has bought the property cheaply.

They are waiting for Commercial Property prices to rise.

They need to show that the building is being used, and not left empty.

Is that true, Dulwich Fox?

It certainly doesn't seem to have been much in use as a gallery lately.

Well, it does not seem to run as a business.

Have not seen any advertisement for local artists to display their work.

Don't see anyone inside the premise.

It is a common practise to hold on to property in this way.

I like the way not much is going in that place. The occasional display and odd piece. Makes a change from trinkets made in China for bored/desperate/confused consumers. Even though selling crap seems the only way to keep the 'economy' going.
