Zabludowicz Collection @ 176…
May 6, 2010
Me and the Missus (to be, 5 weeks and counting…?!) went to a brilliant little free gallery on the weekend… Founded in 1995 the 176 Zabludwicz Collection is a privately funded contemporary art gallery which focuses on emerging artists on a global level and from the late 20th and 21st century.
The space itself is in a old Methodist church, built in 1867, has been sympathetically transformed into a very untraditional gallery/exhibition space which works really well by not being too gallery like.
The current collection is called ‘In The Library of Babel’ which was a short stort about a library which is so vast it becomes a universe containing all possibilities of books with a system in place that has a structure but no one knows what it is or how to navigate it…
It sounds messy but it works leaving the beholder the opportunity to see connections in the art and to think about their own response to it.
Highlights for me were evil cats and retrobot…
If you are in the Kentish Town/Chalk Farm area this collection is a must see… Free art is the future.
