Life In A Shoebox

Are you concerned about the housing crisis in London, and about the severe shortage of affordable property in which to live or work? You are most definitely not alone as this is the theme of an art exhibition later this month in Peckham.
When researching an available gallery in which to exhibit their work, 30 emerging artists on the Masters course at Wimbledon College of Art questioned how big a space is required to show original artwork? They rose to the challenge by finding an affordable small gallery which is part of the Peckham-based Bussey Building – Copeland Park Estate. With space at such a premium the idea of making this the theme of their exhibition was generated – reflecting the circumstances of many young Londoners as well as the exhibiting artists.
