Julian Perry’s ‘A Common Treasury’: the Sheds Lost to the Olympiad pictures the home-made allotment sheds of the 100-year old Manor Garden in London. His show runs until 16th November 07 at the Austin Desmond gallery in London.
Apparently…
“the sheds themselves are now buried behind the 11-mile wall of the Olympic Security Zone”, to be replaced by “a sterile open space and a zigzag concrete path between sporting venues”.
The show abutts with the symposium London 2012 never took place: re-imagining the Olympic zone (16th-17th November 2007), which will explore…
“…the 2012 Olympic site and the Lower Lea Valley as a context for interdisciplinary research
and artistic intervention.”
