going on. Once the home of City of London Symphonia, this
grand house witnesses a final liberation prior to demolition.
It’s a place of sanctuary, the eye of the storm, in glamorous
decay, a living theatre - where the huge rooms, now cater for a
painters studio, a recording studio, a guest room come party
room and animation space. It is thriving with activity. It is alive.
This is one of many, making the most of a short lived experience
- holding in place a grand romantic vision, but a reality
and daily life too. It’s a moment of synthesis, a survival strategy,
an alternative economy, where passion is most employable
here. Flexibility and mobility is the name of the game – there
is a rise in the capacity and ability to move swiftly from place
to place, to take transience as a part of the consciousness,
to turn this into a positive moment for change, into a love of
life, akin to the feeling of falling in love, of the energy charge,
of positivism and feeling of liberation. Of generating alternative
futures, and living in the saying that ‘home is where the
heart is’ – a place to feel free in all this unsettlement. Home
could be on the road now, to rent a place to live is an average
of £120 per week for a miniscule one bed flat in East London
- and probably double that amount in the West. In East London
there is a property boom. The Olympics are coming in 2012.
Megalomania and all things ‘bigger and better’ monopolise
the Skylines. Regeneration schemes are extinguishing many
existing local businesses - in front of our eyes a face- lift is in
order. Under cover fruit and veg and local trade markets are
rapidly turning into corporate branded highways – networked
into super cleansing strategy, a global unit that seeps onto the
streets to street furniture and corporate signage, shaping daily
experiences into a kind of feeling like ‘becoming a visitor to
your own home’. But just as there is an resurgence in occupation
in temporarily abandoned buildings, so there is appearing
a contingent space of action. where alley ways are turned into
spontaneous trading and exchange places, where grass verges
are transformed into community gardens, where events
and ad-hoc happenings, street parties, and inventive alternative
economies are rising through the cracks of the pavement.
Where things by chance are growing, also out of a necessity, in
parallel, out of boredom of ‘fitting in’, out of a desire to live life,
and not ask permission to do so. It’s what I call Optimism.
An artist colleague, Amy Plant and I have formed an evolving
project called Pilot Publishing. Recently we were donated a
small plot of land on an 100 year old allotment site. It is located
exactly where Olympic planners propose to completely
flatten with concrete pathways in time for the games. In a few
