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

    • Electrical work can be dangerous, and hiring an unqualified individual can put you and your family at risk. and negate your insurance. A qualified electrician has the training and experience to safely handle any electrical issues, reducing the likelihood of accidents or injuries. With the exception of simple tasks, it is illegal for anyone other than a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Hiring a qualified electrician ensures that the work is done in compliance with local laws and building codes. Some electricians are being recommended on EDF but here is no indication that they registered with NICEIC or NAPIT.  One is well advised to steer clear of Check-a-Trade which is a marketing service funded by subscription. 
    • Didn’t they have a very ‘unusual’ way of allocating council housing which was also criticised in that report and which hopefully has now been changed

    • Was that the the time it took before reporting something like 'Fully charged'?  If so, had you tried checking from time to time before then whether the battery was effective?   It might also be interesting trying the charger again after a week or two, to see how well the battery is maintaining charge.
