Abbas Zahedi: Brick Lane Foundation

Installation views at Old Brick Lane Police Station as part of Nocturnal Creatures 2021. 

Part of the Whitechapel’s Nocturnal Creatures festival Brick Lane Foundation was a site-specific occupation and community-based gesture. 
By working with the specificities of the place, its complex history, and ideological presence, Zahedi’s gesture worked though the site, re-enlivening this and diverting its logic towards something generous.
Brick Lane Foundation = (Art School) + (Public Gallery) + (police Station)
