An artistic event of staggering genius, tomorrow

By Alex

This Friday, the nomadic art space The Centre of the Universe will be hosting an exhibition in a dark, damp post-war cellar in Dalston. Entitled "The Bunker", the exhibition showcases three inspiring artists in a mildly disgusting and dank-smelling underground cavern, so it might be funny to turn up and watch swanky art types swan around in an abandoned basement full of sludge.

Curated by Catherine Borra, artists featured in "The Bunker" include Jenny Moore-Koslowsky, Justin Gainan, and my personal favourite, Pim Conradi. This is Conradi’s first public exhibition, despite the fact that he’s in his sixties. The artist, who lives in an art squat in Peckham, makes these really cool, Buckminster Fuller-esque geometrical structures out of found materials. He calls them "vision structures", and they sort of remind me of The Wicker Man.

"The Bunker" at The Centre of the Universe opens this Friday May 29. As a bonus, Tom from S.C.U.M will be doing a solo musical performance in the basement in a pit of mud. So that should be interesting and rewarding.
