The Residence Gallery

• Home Office of the Fan Fiction Empire 05 April - 27 May

  The exhibit engages in a playful sociological approach through artistic exploration of consumer culture come borderline official media producer.

  Emphasis will be on visual production and communication born out of a Fan Fiction Empire and DIY domestic authority. The exhibit highlights art that doesn’t just appropriate mass cultural imagery but becomes it, beyond borrowing, morphing completely in unimaginable ways and asking the question of culture in the realm of its advancement in this hyper world.

  
• Gallery Info

  The Residence Gallery is a feisty London venue known for its dynamic approach to exhibitions and commitment to engaging new artists. In its 6 years of ambitious programming it has affectionately earned its reputation as “The Guggenheim of the East End” (Independent London,2010) and a “A place to see and be seen.” (Richard Martin, ArtPops 2010).
  Director Ingrid Z has dynamically raised The Residence Gallery as a 21st century international art venue. The East London based gallery began as an idea for a palatial d.i.y. museum in an abandoned Victorian mental hospital ("Tate Post-Mortem" - Whitechapel, 2004). It since unleashed itself with over 100 scenario-based exhibitions in a shop premises as well as Z’s haunted home The Verger’s Cottage (St.Mary of Eton Church). Notice of demolition prompted the gallery and its resident Z to take charge and secure a permanent home in aspirational Victoria Park, expanding to include a private hotel suite and a floral garden, sure to be a hit at the private views. “Something from nothing to everything with experience,” The Residence Gallery is a triumph of spirit and alchemy.
  The gallery celebrates innovative interdisciplinary forces including painting, video, photography and installation. It naturally attracts relevant and engaging artists of our time.
