237dog_George and John: what barkitecture!

Chiba, a Japanese Akita rescue dog and a roving ‘barkitect’ sniffs out spaces of interest in Shoreditch… \,,,,> Another dog in Shoreditch!? For three years, George has sat every day with John Dolan on Shoreditch High Street. Sitting on the street every day and watching the world go by, George and John became part of the community, barking to passers by about his life, his experiences, his drawings. For George sat for John who began to draw the buildings on the street, elevating the old, decrepit buildings that are so often ignored and under appreciated…”

237dog_DOGS OF SHOREDITCH:

Chiba, a Japanese Akita rescue dog and a roving ‘barkitect’ sniffs out spaces of interest… \,,,,> What are the dogs of Shoreditch? “The Gentle Author”, aka Dan Cruickshank, consulted his copy of Thomas Bewick’s General History of Quadrupeds 1824 to see what breeds were familiar two hundred years ago and discovered the major difference is that many breeds which were working dogs then are domestic dogs today.” So a husky in Hackney indeed has history (which partially explains the appearance of one on Shoreditch Station). Local resident and art critic John Berger (who’s seminal text ‘Ways of Seeing‘ and subsequent serialisation on TV became one of the most influential art programmes) recently collaborated on ‘TAŞKAFA – Stories of the Street’, a film about urbanism and belonging and observed relations between street dogs and humans.

148log_CAT EMPORIUM

Chiba, a Japanese Akita rescue dog and a roving ‘barkitect’ sniffs out spaces of interest… \,,,,> My daily walk down Bethnal Green Road to Shoreditch work takes me past the Chicken Museum (see Review here) and Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium, London’s first cat café. Being Japanese, I am familiar with animal cafés from back home whereby such cafés are popular due to tenancy laws forbidding animals – in Tokyo’s bustling Shibuya district, the Sakuragaoka Café lets customers spend quality time with two special goats! On her website, Lady Dinah claims that animal welfare is the backbone of her business: “We love animals, our customers love animals and looking after our cats is the biggest priority we have.” This has lead to extensive consultation and research with a range of experts and reputable sources leading to the production of Lady Dinah’s Standards of Practice for Housing and Caring for Cats in a Cat Café Environment.

Of course, having a Cat Emporium in East London maintains the historic legacy of The Cat Lady of Spitalfields who devoted her life to feeding the stray cats of Brick Lane. Unsurprisingly, her favourite café was in Cheshire Street. Next up, the House of Hounds Dog Café set to open in Shoreditch this summer… featuring, in the best traditions of cassius Coolidge’s canine poker, further dog portraiture.
