muTATE BRITAIN opening night. 2008
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.

Squatted?

So it's not a squatted space, then, despite the mislead in the first line??
Please correct if I'm wrong, but if I'm right stop using squatting for your chique cred.

The curators don't own the building - they are occupying it and the owners are turning a blind eye right now.
Maybe 2 or 3 people live in the warehouse, camping in rooms with padlocks on them, and they have been helped out by teams of people, some of whom are squatters from other parts of London, grafitti artists etc.
If they don't move out soon, or start to stump up cash, they WILL be squatting the place.
Perhaps if you just admired the work that has gone into this, instead of criticising the wording in such a petty way you wouldn't be such a 'stroppy old git' eh?

They are: Teddy Badden, and Dhugal Harrison.
Both helped out in a HUGE way with preparations, the opening, maintaining the show etc - Dhugal has been staying at Cordy house throughout and is too modest to get credit for what he does, and also Ted did the same, and some amazing stencils.
Okay that's yer lot.
