Construction Gallery launches this week!
Construction Gallery is a three-month pop-up creative hub in Tooting, showcasing talent across the fields of visual art, live music and literature. Through the generosity of the Outer London Fund the main space will host ambitious large-scale sculpture with a further five project spaces dedicated to bringing together artists, writers, performers and designers to create new work for the public to explore.
RCA graduate Alistair McClymont is showing his work After the Rain in the main space for the next three weeks. There are also individual project spaces showing film and sound work, and rooms for both artists and writers to take up temporary residencies.
The Gallery has been brought to life by Wimbledon College of Art alumni Pippa Koszerek and Fiona Long. Recent WCA Fine Art Painting graduates Warren Andrews and Christopher Lawrence are working on the curation and design; and artist in residence, Sam Robinson’s paintings will go on display this week. Several current students are involved in the day-to-day running of the project.
The success of the Gallery depends on the people using it. So get involved!
The launch night with live music and bar is on:
Wednesday 25th January from 6.30pm to 9pm
Construction Gallery and Cafe, 74 – 80 Upper Tooting Road, London SW17 7PB (Nearest tube: Tooting Bec)
