*Waiting Rooms*



Six photographers will exhibit images and installations responding to
abandoned spaces in The Bear gallery, Camberwell from the 11th to the 15th
of February.



The group has produced a collection of work to express their discontent at
the slash and burn tactics employed by multi-million pound regeneration
projects in our cities.

designer apartments and ill-judged infrastructure.  Throwaway culture,
integral to modern consumerism, seeps into attitudes towards private and
public spaces; homes, hospitals, schools.  No longer desirable to city
developers and contractors they are simply rubbed out, glossed over and
built on.



'Waiting Rooms' show the findings of the six as they explore the interim
period for these forgotten places; between habitation and demolition.

implication that cities have constant currents and vortexes which
strongly discourage spontaneous entry and exit from certain points.  We can
disregard established routes and hop through holes, exposing predominately
unlit corners of activity.
