The book records the artists' creative process, the transformation of the space, and viewer responses. Includes essays, artist statements, and photographic documentation of the works and the venue. [From first page] In London the number of artists, the variety of their practices and the economic conditions that determine not only arts funding but real estate transitions, have combined to generate a culture of 'alternative' possibilities. Artists often make their own opportunities in this environment. This self-published volume records the approach and results of one such enterprise.
