Ben Cain - About a stall on Whitecross Street, East London
Friday 23rd November 2007 12-3pm
Friday 30th November 2007 12-3pm

This is just forming, so for now, here’s just a few rough pointers: Any
way you look at it, there’s always something missing, there’s no complete
picture. Although of course that’s nothing to be anxious about. In talking
about a place, a person, or a time, you’ll always forget to say this or
that. One of the questions will be, What are we looking at, or participating
in, and how is this, or might this, be influenced by the past? Whitecross St
is now in the grip of a New Deal, it’s being re-formed, there are projected
visions.

The work will take the form of a stall/platform, an out-of-time observatory.
It will momentarily connect the street to an old story. It’ll be a hole in
the street, one to look into, through, and out of.
