ART | OFFICE SESSIONS

If you're in London do go and check out HOUSE RULES as part of ‘Office Sessions’ over at Anchorage House, East India Quay in London tomorrow (13 February) at 7pm. Creative director and curator Caitlin Mavroleon’s ambitious project sees a group of artists lead by Nadia Berri that include Tatiana Baskakova, Victoria Burgher, Terry Dynes, Ben Faga, Matthew Hammond, Jeremy Lee, Jayne Lloyd, Kate Mahony, Erifili Missiou, Cristina Pedreira, Daniella Valz-Gen and Rob Brown working collaboratively in the empty office space.


Over 42 days these artists will engage in the development of constantly evolving work for and in response to 20,000 sqf of a deserted office floor. This project utilises the tension that stems from trying to push creative practice in a space that has restrictive house rules and is a refreshing experience because it reminds us of the potential for fun and play that exists even in the most prescribed and unexpected locations. Just go have fun! This is a great opportunity to meet and work with some talented artists and feel very much immersed in a creative project. An added bonus is that you get to ride the slow-motion roller coaster that is the DLR to this event. It’s not every evening you get to experience creativity like this in an empty office building so don’t miss it!
