Exchange Series: Dalston
The Exchange Series project was conceived as a festive dialogue
between shopkeepers and designers that manifested in the form of
8 small interventions into the landscape of one of East London’s most
diverse and creative neighbourhoods.
8 artists and designers created bespoke works within 8 host shops,
exploring the specific conditions of place, space, ownership and
audience. Each installation responded to the entrenched context as
a site for display, considering its commercial function and recognising
it as a cultural space with a pre-existing visual language
and an established local identity.
Each collaboration brought together different local experiences
of service and artwork in an everyday context of shared time
and space.
