Gallery House was one of London\u2019s most influential and extraordinary art spaces in the 1970s, directed by Sigi Krauss with assistant director Rosetta Brooks. For only sixteen months in 1972-73, in a vacant mansion provided by the German government next to the German Institute\u00a0in South Kensington, Gallery House hosted exhibitions, residencies, performances and events as well as pioneering \u2018expanded cinema\u2019 and much new film and video work. For many of the featured\u00a0artists\u00a0Gallery House would prove a formative experience.<\/p>\n

Gallery House favoured heterogeneity, colliding the multiplicity of forms and styles co-existing at the time, from performance and experimental\u00a0cinema to cybernetic, social and conceptual practices. Ultimately, the radical nature of Gallery House\u2019s programme led to its abrupt and contested closure by the German Institute.<\/p>\n

This Way Out of England<\/em>\u00a0seeks to emulate the spirit of Gallery House by\u00a0inviting a number of artists to rethink their original interventions in the space. The episodic nature of this project acknowledges the impossibility of framing what was an ephemeral experiment. The project is curated by Antony Hudek and Alex Sainsbury.<\/p>\n

D\u00fcsseldorf \u2194\u00a0London\u00a0<\/em>was part of\u00a0Weekend 3<\/em>:\u00a0A foray into the rich exchanges between the D\u00fcsseldorf and London art scenes in the early 1970s. Otherwise inaccessible films by the D\u00fcsseldorf Film Group will be shown as will a newly digitized anarchic tape slide work by Achim Duchow,\u00a0Buick Adventure<\/em>\u00a0(1974), featuring Sigmar Polke and Gallery House\u2019s director Sigi Krauss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
