'Ambition. That can be a virtue when it drives us so excel.' Thus spoke Commodus, as played by Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator, quite probably the greatest film of all time.
What has this got to do with a simple listing for an art exhibition? Well, it's all to do with CABIN/ET at ROOM gallery (the capitals are deliberate - we're not just doing a pointless Brian Blessed impression).
The whole project is the brainchild of contemporary artist Tom Wolseley, who with support from Hackney Council, Maersk and the Arts Council operates under the guise of 'Archetrope'.
From July to September he's taking over ROOM as well as the adjacent Hackney Road Recreation Ground. Wolseley has transformed the interior of one of those big shipping container things to make it like a comfily kitted out cabin.
In addition there's all manner of other Wolseley-organised projects: some kind of library, a video collaboration with someone from Yukon, a mirror installation and contributions from fellow artists Claire Stent and Camilla Lyon.
Talk about ambitious! Hence the Gladiator quotation. We'd use any excuse to mention it anyway...
Until 27.09.09.
