Not quite an exhibition, but a deep challenge to an environment. In an abandoned and unidentified post-
war bunker, spreading out underneath Dalston, East London, this show is a response to the space it inhabits, and
to the history it recalls.
THE BUNKER is propelled by the search for different spaces and modes of operation. Pushing our
expectations for the future forward, we can trigger the motor of history to act, evolve and motion.
We have invited the following artists to activate the Bunker with us:
Pim Conradi
Pim Conradi’s visionstructures are visual sketches of an on-going research. Through his efforts, he aims to
individuate structures that analyze the relationship between human life and the biosphere, and translate them into
functional proposals that span from architecture to design. This is his first public appearance.
Pim is currently artist-in-residence at Area 10, London.
Jenny Moore-Koslowsky
Jenny Moore-Koslowsky is an artist, singer, song-writer and architect of the imagination. She navigates her work
through allusions which are always mobile, questioning power relationships, disrupting balances and menacing
comfortable confidence.
She has recently participated in ‘Contested Ground’,2009, at 176/Zabludowicz Collection, London; and has
performed This is Impractical, for the exhibition ‘Gold&Delicious’, at The Apple Tree, London.
She is currently completing her MA in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London.
Justin Gainan
Justin Gainan’s practice is a continuous struggle with objects on the verge between uniqueness and rubble,
obsession and quietness.
Recent shows he has participated in include ‘The Shortest Short Story Ever Written,…’. 2008, FormContent,
London; and ‘ThirtyFive Hours’,2009, HFBK project space, Hamburg.
He is also completing his MA in Fine Arts at Goldsmiths College, London.
