Arts Photos: Angie Gough Printed on vinyl and dotted on walls from Mare Street, via London Fields, to Regents Canal, each image is accompanied by an audio story, unlocked when you download the free Space Explorer app. The images are intriguing as is, but the audio brings a whole other dimension. Cathie on Gayhurst Road is a recovering alcoholic. She attributes her recovery to the power of the desert and its wild dogs who rescued her when she was at her lowest ebb. Cathie: Morland Estate, Gayhurst Road, E8 Angie Gough has been well and truly arts-kicked by some big, bold and beautiful photographs on our neighbourhood walls Round the corner on Richmond Road are a set of dinosaur claws deposited by a UFO, according to a man who knows Jesus personally. Angela, on Regent’s Canal, found peace and mental clarity in the desert after years in the City, while Sandi, on Wilton Way, found freedom in shunning consumption. Robin reckons his subjects would get a kick out of where they’ve ended up. From the American desert to the streets of Hackney, who’da thunk it, eh? Space Explorer is a pioneering public art initiative and the brainchild of photographer Robin Mellor and co-founder Yassa Khan. Having lived in Hackney for 12 years, Robin realised that for such a creative borough, there wasn't much public art on display, so he made the walls of Hackney his gallery – harnessing the power of the smartphone while he was at it. Boom! A whole new immersive art experience was born. 24 LOVEEAST “It was set up to inspire those who wouldn’t ordinarily think about walking into a gallery," he says. "It’s important to try and reach out to an audience who aren’t regular art lovers, as well as those who are.” The exhibition comprises 15 large-scale photographs, and takes viewers on a thoughtprovoking search for answers to the meaning of life, expressed through the stories of people who live in the American desert. Pausing to look and listen as we amble through our neighbourhood, crossing paths in this way with people living at such a physical remove from ourselves, is a positively energising experience. It’s certainly got me thinking and renewed my belief in the creative power of boredom. For kids and adults alike, less is more. We don’t need to be constantly doing things and consuming stuff. Sometimes, just let’s all get bored as hell and watch what happens next.
Arts This is an exhibition for all ages – it’s got fresh air, dinosaurs, UFOs, funny hairdos, cowboy, hats, the eternal search for the meaning of life and parentapproved screen time. It’s absolutely, positively right up my street. The exhibition runs till 30 <strong>June</strong>.
