Laura Oldfield Ford + Tessa Farmer + Karen Russo

Free!
Recession, the Olympics, and the future of East London: these are the main subjects up for discussion in Slump City, an exhibition featuring work by three local (and brilliant) artists.
If you haven't heard of Laura Oldfield Ford by now then you must have been living under a rock for the past few years. She produces dystopian paintings and drawings, a punk/psychogeographic 'zine called Savage Messiah and undertakes all manner of protests and activities aimed at preventing the homogenisation of East London. For this show she presents a large wall of A2 drawings that map the forgotten and overlooked elements of the capital.
In addition there's a film work by Karen Russo (produced by sending a small robot camera inside London's sewer pipes) and Tessa Farmer's bizarre-sounding 'road kill' inspired by her 2007 residency at the Natural History Museum.
This should be a fascinating show.
Until 26.06.09.
