London Orphan Asylum paid homage to the variety and intensity of London art so often flattened out with the media friendly ‘Young British Art’ hype. This show presented a thoughtful diversified image of London’s interdisciplinary art scene, centering on the permanently transitional area of the East End. Exemplifying the practices of this other side of London’s art scene was a relationship to materials that centred on ideas of immateriality and re-use. London Orphan Asylum was a stroll through the East End, into its streets, clubs and galleries, documenting the less mediated new art in London, one of the world’s thriving and most watched contemporary art centres.
