According to RavishLondon, “Shoreditch, Brick Lane and Spitalfields constitute the Mecca of London street art; a de facto open air gallery, a ‘square mile of street art’ to compare with the ‘financial square mile’ of the City of London, its southern neighbour.” The RavishLondon map of the East London street art square mile features our project, Shoreditch Station – the former London Underground station is now an impromptu underground art gallery. The images below partially document the evolving ‘exhibitions’ which have occurred over the past 3 years. One, Sod The Rich (an anagram of Shoreditch), is a reminder that the project ought to aspire to ‘sustainable gentrification’…

128art_Shoreditch Station Hot tub Cinema

Our disused Shoreditch Station is the latest venue for one of London’s most successful and soggy pop-ups…

Wearing speedos at the cinema isn’t normally advised. It usually means getting chucked out or raising horrified yelps from fellow punters. Unless, that is, you’re at Hot Tub Cinema. Consistently one of the most clicked-on and shared listings on the TimeOut website, this wet and utterly bizarre night out is both truly immersive and a runaway success. The concept is simple: watch a cult flick on a huge screen, kick back in a hot tub and sup drinks like a bathing-suited boss. For their new summer programme (Wed Jun 4 – Sun Jun 15), the crew have added further ‘wow’ to their watery adventures: they’re going underground. It all takes place in what used to be the old East London Line branch of Shoreditch Station. The former main station platform serves as an open-air auditorium – though there’s at least partial cover for the tubs. The 11 films lined-up include ‘Superbad’ (June 11), ‘Mean Girls’ (June 8) and, of course, ‘Hot Tub Time Machine’ (June 10). Resist the urge to oil up for stripper flick ‘Magic Mike’ (June 12), or make the obvious jokes during ‘Snatch’ on June 5, please. And no heavy petting or towel-whipping, either.

128art_THIERRY NOIR

We don’t need to walk far for Art informed Architecture. Just step out of the office into Shoreditch High Street and one is immersed in art whether you like it or not… the neighbouring gallery next door to our office (Howard Griffin) is showcasing Thierry Noir, the Keith Haringesque French Berliner.

128art_BOY BAND

Having recognised that Shoreditch wasn’t such a hot idea for a band name, Kingsland emerged from the hairdressers to belatedly realise that there’s another Kingsland (and this one ain’t in Dalston). What about Pedley Street Boys? Or Vallance? Or Boyfriends of Allen Gardens? The shoot might also explain why our sofa has got footprints on it…

128art_GYMBOX AT SHOREDITCH UNDERGROUND

Gym tonic? Gymbox has replaced its dumb-bells with human weights to encourage people to exercise. Members of Gymbox can choose one of five people ranging from two midgets to a 155kg man. The gym already runs a ‘chav fighting’ self-defence class and ‘WAG workouts’ to make women more attractive to footballers. The human weights, who sit on adapted machines, are said to help gym-goers by letting them visualise what they are lifting. They will also shout words of encouragement if requested. The human weights range from ‘Dainty Diva’ – Arti Shah, 32, who weighs just 30kg (4.7 stone), up to ‘Super Human’ – Matt Barnard, 37, who weighs a massive 155kg (24.4stone). Gymbox owner Richard Hilton said the human weight lifting device was the ‘ultimate embodiment of visualisation theory.’ He added: ‘Creating a mental image or intention of what you want to happen or feel is proven to improve physical and psychological performance. ‘We’re optimistic our members will see better results with our new human weight machine.’
