Wow!

So I'm off to London for work, but I get to soak up some more culture while I'm there... and I can't WAIT!!  I get to play with so many people that I love... and introduce people to one another.. it's pretty much just what makes me totally happy about my nomadic, hippie life.  Pics to follow... but here's where we'll be this week!!

Main gallery: André ten Broeke - <<Space Public>>
fa projects is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in London of the Dutch contextual and installation artist André ten Broeke.
Ten Broeke combines his practice of Contemporary Art with techniques derived from ancient crafts. His installations transform elements found onsite, giving a substance to his altered perception of reality.

<<Space Public>> is a one-off, site-specific installation. The artist will engage a dialogue with the gallery by using existing elements of the building’s history to reinterpret and reintroduce key components of its original function. Two large mirrors reflecting each other revolve on opposite axes at a different pace. Each of them interacts with the space individually until both find themselves facing each other at a meeting point, creating an ephemeral visual corridor running throughout the main gallery. The project aims to create a complementary sructure to the building, using its history to activate a new way of perceiving the space.

André ten Broeke lives and works in Rotterdam. He has exhibited throughout the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. His latest site-specific installations have been shown at Mobile Institute, Brussels (2007) - Cinekid film festival, Amsterdam, (2006), OUDE KERK, Remi, Amsterdam, “The Mystery of new art”, Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam, 36th Poetry International, Rotterdam (2005) and Kunstvlaai5 Art Fair, Amsterdam (2004).
