“Is there time for space” is an invitation to explore the space between the gallery and the street. Streetlife dynamics in their complexity are reflected in the gallery window, creating the space where the movement and anticipation have their parallel. The window, hurt, by some midnight drama acts as a skin. From the liberal safety of the gallery space, I am sending the signal to the linear stream of pedestrians to cross dimensions through a porthole in the gallery window. Here, out of the space, the face of Apollo appears unpainted.
Ania Tomaszewska is artist based in Brixton. Educated in Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art.

A song written about the shop and beyond - performed at the final Live at the Apollo night on 25th June 2009. With encouragement and backing guitar by Laura Kidd -aka She Makes War. This song is dedicated to my amazing family for all their support. JH
La Loop
Empty shops and broken glass
Bus stop conversations past
Set your widescreen, test card, memory
to play.
High street, ghost town, sun god, muse
Retail fail on local news
The homeless painter’s looking in,
through someone else’s eyes
————————————–
It’s time to turn your TV down
The fail whale economic shock
Pour oil onto depleted stock
The way out sign, now showing
Til ten
Dead system addicts, overflow
A plastic coloured afterglow
If you think that we went to the moon,
You’d better think again
————————————–
We took one small step today
The ugliness keeps creeping in
Force your perspective in the bin
The river flowing underground
Re-bourne
Final credits, end in sight
Supermarket after-life
The bay tree keeps on growing
And seeking out the light
————————————–
Because every little helps
The internet killed the video star
Soundtrack looping silver bar
The only thing that’s permanent
is change
To everyone and everything
For all the weightlessness you bring
When people, popcorn, power
Come walking through the door
————————————–
Did we make you miss your bus?

We’ve been on the edge of our Silverfox bar stools, dying to tell you that TURIN BRAKES are playing an afternoon acoustic set on Sunday 28th (tomorrow!).
They’ll be playing some time between 3 and 4pm to mark the close of Live at The Apollo.
New films in Apollo
June 25th, 2009 · Contributor, Film
Film night at Apollo was a resounding success. Many thanks to all who came along.
There will be new film work in Apollo from Saturday by Jayne O’Hanlon who is otherwise known as SuperVolunteer. Jayne has been busy making an animation in the shop over the space of a month. We can’t wait to see it the finished film - it looks creepy.
A film/installation by Annette Graham and Pete Stitson will be shown from Friday day time along with a film on DVD by Ania Tomaszewska-Nelson.

LUNARCHY
The Moon Room is dark and intimate. Among images of the moon and stars,
scientists, artists and poets conspire in the darkness to tell the story of
the moon and its role in the evolution of life and all human culture. Without
the moon, we wouldn’t be here at all! Our aim is to enchant and captivate
the world, restoring the lunar rhythm of life to our ravaged and exploited
planet. All welcome to come and conspire with us.

Laura Victoria - June 18th
June 17th, 2009 · Contributor, Music
Live at The Apollo is proud to present Laura Victoria.
A voice and a cello- that’s about it.
Intense, edgy, light hearted, melodramatic and honest songs brought to life by unusual cello playing that veers between moving melancholy airs, punchy rock riffing and slap bass.
Songs tell of love affairs, cups of tea, shipwrecks, imaginary worlds…
