The Elephant Rooms, Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre, Elephant and Castle, SE1 6TE

How Much: Free!
Many ideologies have at root sought world domination - Christianity, capitalism, democracy... - and so far, thankfully, all have failed. in the wake of all this, a new emphasis on the importance of locality is currently emerging in London, and elsewhere. But this is not just about food provenance and designer gastro nonsense, this is also about community and creativity.

To this end, endeavours such as The Elephant Rooms are to be loudly applauded. The brainchild of the people behind Corsica Studios, The Elephant Rooms is a transient contemporary art space that will be migrating around the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre.

The space opens this May with an exhibition of work by art collective Off Modern. There's painting, sculpture, video and installation that all responds directly to the local specificity of Elephant and Castle. Potentially brilliant.

22-28.05.09.
