10 May - 03 June
Forman's Smokehouse Gallery presents ‘Place Not Found’ showing work by 15 South Korean artists most of whom relocated their working places from South Korea to London. Forman’s Smokehouse, Britain’s oldest salmon smokers was likewise forced to relocate by the Olympic development to its current premises, overlooking the London 2012 Olympic Park. The works represented in the gallery space embody the artists’ experiences of a search for a place that cannot be found. The gallery becomes a site for storytelling, exploring both existing and imaginary places in personal, conceptual, cultural and political spheres.

East London Printmakers is an artist collective which manages a spacious and modern print studio with open access facilities in Hackney. ELP holds its annual exhibition, inspired by this year’s London Olympic Games, at Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery on Fish Island in Hackney Wick. Over 50 artists will be exhibiting their latest work in this exciting gallery which overlooks the London 2012 Olympic stadium. It is unusual for ELP to have a theme for its annual shows but it has been decided to make an exception this year in view of the stunning location of the venue and the unique occasion.
