‘All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.’
Anatole France
Swan Song is a one-night group exhibition that will take place in an evacuated 19th Century townhouse off Dean Street, the last remaining in its block of buildings destined for demolition to make way for the area’s new Crossrail station. Loaned to the project by the last of the former occupants of the house, the exhibition will encompass a variety of suddenly empty spaces, cleared of possessions with only hints of its former domestic past, as though abandoned in pre-apocalyptic haste.
The exhibition is a valediction to Soho after over a decade of inhabitation.. Works in the show include film, painting, murals and works on paper. Many of the works have been created for the site and integrated within the framework of the building, conceived and installed 24 hours before the opening and lit using found lighting.
Artists include:
Carolina Ambida – Tereza Buskova – Romela Crnogorac – Keran Dee – Aidan Doherty – Katarina Forss – Mathilda Holmqvist – Katie Honan
Yolande Kenny – Henry Krokatsis – Amy Moffat – Jamie Partridge – Nathaniel Rackowe – Alex Roberts – Harry Scoging Beer – Yukako Shibata – Andrea Tyrimos
Location: St Anne’s House, Diadem Court, London W1D 3EF (Tottenham Court Road tube, off Great Chapel Street)
