muTATE Britain has landed...

Thursday 20th November saw the grand opening of muTATE BRITAIN, the largest non-corporate art space in London, located in a disused warehouse on Curtain Rd, Shoreditch.

Forget Tate Britain, muTATE BRITAIN has landed, all 4 storeys of it.

And you heard it here first...

Organised and curated by Garfield Hackett, Liam Hayhow and Alex Wright, with the help of a veritable fleet of fellow squatters, graffitti artists, sculptors, painters and other scallywags, muTATE Britain has landed.

Located in 'Cordy House', a disused warehouse on Curtain Road, London, it has been many many months in conception and preparation. Why? Because street artists and emerging contemporary artists need a non-corporate space in the East end to showcase their wares, in the way they want to. No sponsorship, no bullshit, just amazing spaces and mind-blowing art.

Artists in residence: the incredible MUTOID WASTE company, featuring Joe Rush of robotic/ scrapyard construction fame, and festivals near you.

Also showing, in rotation over the next month or so:
Airside, Blaize Simon, Bosi, Bleach, Dscreet, Brett Ewins, Dr D, Dennis Morris, Eelus, Eine, Elle Dunn, Elph, Inkie, juice 126, Lucy Macleod, Billy Macrae, Mac 1, Mode 2, Mr Insa, 9T, Part2ism, Paul Insect, Peter Dunne, Print Club London, Pure evil, Remi, Ronzo, Roughe 1, Rowdy Rufus Dayglo, Shepard, Fairey (AKA Obey), SW1, The Krah, Zoot, and many more.

The opening night was RAMMED!....

The catch? These guys have to make it pay or they're booted out for good in early 2009...
If you want to help London's major ANTI-CORPORATE warehouse art show it's time to get down there and start muTATE-ing.
