Art: Oslo in Hackney Wick?

26-oslo-final_2

Ahhh Oslo. Norway’s sweet capital city. Bustling with commerce, overflowing with Nordic character and a veritable cultural mecca enriched by it’s population of circa145,000 immigrants (thanks Wikipedia)…..so why is it that all I can see is old warehouses and pollution from the A12? Ah, it appears i’m in the wrong Oslo…but hang on, for now at least, this Oslo is the place we all need to be…

That’s right, from Friday 31st July to Sunday 2nd August 26 OSLO is pleased to present an exhibition showcasing uncompromising, provocative, intellectual and of course fun artists during The Hackney WickED art festival.

As 26 OSLO, artist Josephine Ada Chinonye Chime and graphic designer Luciano Foglia have brought together some of their past, present & future creative collaborators. Calling upon seasoned curators and upstarts to put forth people they believe in.

Luciano Foglia will open the doors to his house, where the public will view Wipe Your Feet.
Stripping bare his warehouse only to leave the house essentials dining table, couch, coat-stand and display cabinet.

Blurring the lines between personal and public space. The house and the gallery.

This glorious event will be held in Hackney Wick warehouse; Oslo House conveniently central to where the artistic mayhem will be during The Hackney WickED art festival.
