“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?

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.

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.

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…
