Breaking news! pop up gallery opening next to ED station (come along! 20/12/13)

Hi,

have you passed by the old garden centre site (next to ED train station) and wondered what is happening and why a building with such a huge footprint in such a prime location has sat dormant for nearly a year?


Well, Paul Wynter (Managing Director of London Art) didn't just wonder about it, he took action and has claimed the site for a pop up gallery of local London artists.


This Friday 20th December 2013, 6pm onwards, Paul, and his artist colleagues Ricky, Sandy and others invite you join them for the opening of East Dulwich London Art (see here: http://www.londonart.co.uk/exhibition/exhibition.asp?exh_ID=577)


So pop in for a glass of mulled wine and show your support for the creative use of local spaces.


Please invite your friends and neighbours too.


Also, if you have an old sofa/ chairs you would like to donate, the space is in need of some hang out furniture...


See you there!

Thanks James, appreciate your support.

I agree, un-used spaces seems such a waste in such a vibrant area.

Sandy mentioned that they are thinking about setting up market stalls in the back (outside) area - it's a massive space out there and looking sadly neglected.


Paul was unsure how long the gallery would be there - but it seems that plans for Morrisons and development may be a long way off, and naturally their occupancy will exist as long as there is community support/interest.


I should mention I am not involved in this co-operative. I saw them painting and stuck my head in (asking to raid the scraps that were left of the garden centre) and we got chatting... I am a huge advocate for people doing interesting things in interesting places - so I offered my support to help promote them.


Incidentally, there are some weed killers, scrappy trellis and a few bits and pieces still being cleared out. Only desperado garden-recyclers (like me) would be interested, but it's all going free so pop in - and say hi.


Volunteer painters (as in walls - not artworks) also welcome.


Cheers

KWB

    • MSN is an aggregator. Not a news source   the source is a Nick Gutteridge article in the Telegraph so, closer to reform than BBC   (I would question BBC news reliability these days mind you) It would be difficult to describe gutteridge as objective.  But it would be easy to claim he is frequently wrong, bordering on bonkers   https://www.telegraph.co.uk/authors/n/nf-nj/nick-gutteridge/ There is no physical reality where, as we run out of fossil fuels and turn to whatever will replace them, where existing fossil fuels don’t become more expensive  not this country, not any country - you might see some short term ups and downs as politics plays its part - but to whine about your political enemies tackling the dwindling fossil fuels is both childish and playing with people’s lives
    • I popped in to have a chat with them and a look around after I'd eaten somewhere else so didn't sample anything, but they seemed to have plenty of staff so hopefully service won't be too slow! Planning to try soon. 
    • My husband was in a cycling accident just after 10pm on Friday, May 30.    He hit the pedestrian crossing pole going west down East Dulwich Grove, just past Glengarry Road.    He was knocked out and doesn’t remember anything - and I wanted to say thank you to whoever called the ambulance, and was there with him after the accident. (And to give you an update: thankfully, there was no head injury. He got very lucky with just a fractured face.)   We’re trying to get CCTV footage - but if there any witnesses who can help paint a clearer picture of what happened, it would be really appreciated.
