‘The symmetry feels important somehow, symbolic even. That there are two alcoves from the Old London Bridge in the far north eastern end of Victoria Park encourages me to indulge in the fantasy that they are actually keeping each other company. Here they sit, these former aged retainers from the City’s founding river crossing, now enjoying a lazy retirement in the closest thing London has to the countryside.’

‘Writer Travis Elborough introduces his project for the Chisenhale Gallery Victoria Park Residency 2014-5, which is produced for the fourth year in partnership with Tower Hamlets Parks and Open Spaces Department. Elborough’s research focuses on the social history of parks and the politics and technological innovations associated with sport and leisure activities. He asks us to consider whose rules we play by and how amateur sports clubs might help us reclaim the communal for the community and the civic for this part of the city.’

‘tea.cake.space. : a salon for artists – to talk, share and create work
Join us for a glass of wine, a cup of tea and a chat at a new salon taking place at The Proud Archivist. Be inspired by artists and makers who have been “inspired by London” – the wonderful city we live in.

This month our guests are:

Ivo Gormley: Producer “The Runners”: The Runners is an award-winning short film made by Matan Rochlitz and Ivo Gormley. We will screen the film and then chat with Ivo about why they made it and why it was shot in London.

Julian Mash and Travis Elborough: Julian Mash, author of Portobello Road, and Travis Elborough, author and cultural commentator for more than a decade, will talk about their work and how they have been inspired by London throughout their creative journeys.’
