180 The Strand London Exhibitions

Whilst visiting London I also went to view some exhibitions at 180 The Strand. This space was opened in 2016 and its definitely the most unique space I have visited that exhibits art work, it has an incredibly industrial feel to it with huge open spaces filled with unique and some very strange work. 
RYOJI IKEDA 'TEST PATTERN'
A new commission by Store X The Vinyl Factory, Ryoji Ikeda's will immersive audio-visual artwork is an unforgettable experience in which the artist converts data (from music, sound, photo and video) into monochrome binary patterns that are generated in real-time and envelop the viewer in a disorientating, highly-charged kinetic environment.





Store X The Vinyl Factory
This autumn, Store X The Vinyl Factory presents multi-disciplinary exhibition Everything At Once with Lisson Gallery alongside three site-specific works at its curated space, Store Studios. These include Jeremy Shaw’s Liminals, in collaboration with König Galerie, Arthur Jafa’s Love is the Message, the Message is Death, in collaboration with Serpentine Galleries and Ryoji Ikeda’s newly commissioned A/V artwork test pattern [N°12].
5 October – 10 December 2017


Arthur Jafa - Love is the Message, the Message is Death
Arthur Jafa’s 2016 work Love Is The Message, The Message Is Death is presented in the UK for the first time by The Store X The Vinyl Factory in partnership with Serpentine Galleries. Soundtracked by Kanye West’s gospel hip-hop track ‘Ultralight Beam’, the meticulously edited 7-minute collage probes the relationship between mainstream media and African-American identity, juxtaposing images of contemporary life in the USA, from civil rights leaders to aeriel footage of the LA Riots.
