Stop 1

All Season

Cambridge Heath Road 214 London United Kingdom

Description: First stop, IMT Gallery. A small discreet gallery behind some railings - look out for the sign or you'll miss it! IMT Gallery is known for their consistent output of new media exhibitions. IMT (which stands for Image Music Text) work with artists who explore the digital world through their art using sound, moving image and computer systems to comment on how technology is progressively affecting us in our daily lives. Currently on display, Maggie Roberts uses this as a premise for her show through digital and laser-cut paper collages, two films and a single floor work positioned in the middle of the gallery. You'll need to read the press release for this one! Maggie Roberts: GLIMMER BREACH 04.05.18 – 24.06.18

Stop 2

All Season

258 Cambridge Heath Road London United Kingdom

Description: Cell Projects Space is a non-profit community of artist studios and gallery space accessed through an industrial yard in East London. An easy to miss spot, make your way through a jungle of sub-tropical plants (you won't feel like you're in London!) and up a tall metal set of stairs to access the gallery. Cell Projects Space originated as an experimental ground for performative projects. Often accompanying each exhibition, a series of live performances are held throughout the duration. These are often theatrical, they can be readings and sometimes workshops. Currently on show, artist duo Dorota Gawęda & Eglė Kulbokaitė investigate the act of reading, a potentially intimate act that is made public through live spoken word events.

Description: Next on our tour is Annka Kultys Gallery, a small easy-to-miss gallery on Hackney Road that supports the next generation of multimedia artists. Artists are encouraged to bring their work, of which is mostly situated on online or digital platforms, into the gallery space and push boundaries. The gallery prides itself of its very ambitious 6 exhibitions a year programme! Despite the small space, you'll really want to immerse yourself, spend some time there and take it all in. Expect video, an epic installation and lots and lots of colour!

<<Hackney Coffee Company>>

Stop 4

30 minutes

All Season

Hackney Road 493-495 London United Kingdom

Description: I always like to end a gallery hop with a slow cup of coffee. Hackney Coffee Company is the perfect place to sit and chat and reflect upon your recent sensory overload! Despite having recently expanded their pokey coffee shop to this gigantic monster of a space next door, it's often quiet and a relaxed atmosphere in here. The decor is beautiful: clean and simply designed with high ceilings, lots of bright natural light beaming in and littered with plants. There is a good mix of Chesterfields, single tables as well as a communal co-working space at the back. Oh and the coffee is superb. Enjoy!
