Artists light up dingy spaces
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Four of the artists who make up the collective Spontaneous Combustion soaking up the atmosphere of the basement of a former East End brewery, where they will be exhibiting, writes Matthew Brace. Disillusioned with the 'clean, white boxes' provided by conventional galleries and keen to access a wider audience, Spontaneous Combustion occupies abandoned industrial spaces.
Gwen MacGregor said yesterday: 'It's a space of about 14,000sq ft with pillars down the middle. It's grey and dark, so the show will have quite a dingy feel to it.'
Spontaneous Combustion, which uses many materials in its multi-media installations, will be at the Atlantis Lower Gallery, Brick Lane, from
9 October to 6 November.
