QUIET BRITISH ACCENT
Thursday night in East London…. Conversations between artists at CELL Project Space, Cambridge Heath Road, top of Vyner Street, borders of Bethnal Green and Hackney, you’d never find if you didn’t already know – over the road ftom the Hare, a fine pub where you find art and football – Rotherham versus Preston, playoff semi final second leg, nod of respect to the red shirt King Dennis, decent pint… Pontoon Lip is a new art exhibition hidden in the Cell Project Space (what is with art galleries and not telling anyone where you are, paint a sign!) Two artists – Katie Cuddon, Celia Hampton – and all this without a proper sentence. Without a Proper Sentence being the name of a publication being launched by Katie Cuddon as part of the rather fine conversations between artists at the aforementioned well-hidden unsigned Cell Space – fabric and sculptural work, re-imagined ruin (some of it in lime green light). Two artists responding to each other over an “intense period” of three weeks… The Orient shirt on the wall of the Hare was busy seeing who the Os would face at Wembley, no doubt so were Quiet British Accent. Junior was asleep on top of the jukebox, who’s Junior? We can’t say.
Something was happening at Arch 402 over in Cremer Street . Stomach promised lots of food to go with the art, all we saw was a naked man with a cheese board, decent cheese though, the paintings of Peter D’Alessandri stood out.. Seems like 616, Millo and Benjamin Murphy have been down Cremer Street recently as well, lost the Benjamin Murphy photo, something to with letting go of the lead, Birdseed has been about as well, as have “Two vivacious young girls eating, drinking, cooking & filming their way through Italy exploring the landscape, the people and the food!” and nothing to do with Stomach or no naked man giving out cheese, and all to do with, I don’t know, they fly-posted the hell out of Hackney, their tear-off strips were everywhere, go ask them what they’re doing, like their style, let them eat cake! Another Thursday evening in East London, all we were trying to do was get from Cultivate to Hoxton railway station station…. .
