Exhibition
Institute of Kentish Town - Parlour Studios & Project Space
You are invited to a five day archival exhibition, playfully documenting the community of Kentish Town.
Running from 14th to 18th of December, the institute will attempt to gather information through drawings, found objects and mapping by asking the community to respond to their personal connection to the Kentish Town area.
The exhibition will therefore look closely at notions of private and public, as well as ideas surrounding place and the community that inhabits it.
The Institute’s resident artists- Nic Harper, Jocelyn Allen, Milka Panayotova and Rodrigue Dakouri- will react to this idea through photography, painting and sound.
Members of the public are asked to contribute to the exhibition with found objects and ephemera, as well as being asked to add scribbles, thoughts and memories; collectively building the archive. Contributors will be rewarded with a free membership to the institute and an invitation to the closing party on the 18th December, during which the completed archival collection will be displayed.
Submissions of photographs & stories can be made to our blog at: http://instituteofkentishtown.tumblr.com/
