'STILL' Exhibition at Hornsey Town Hall
Up the hill in Crouch End town centre, it's Hornsey Town Hall's 75th birthday on Thursday 4 November. This beautiful Modernist building officially opened in 1935 on 4 November by (controversial) Prince George, the Duke of Kent.
The Town Hall's birthday is celebrated with the opening of a photography and video exhibition by local artist Roelof Bakker. He spent a number of days in the first half of 2010 inside Hornsey Town Hall exploring the vacated interior spaces. Chanced upon still lives are featured alongside poignant vistas of faded grandeur.
For a number of photographs, original elements were unearthed and positioned into an invented setting allowing the building to come to life once again and take stage as part of the narrative.
In the videos, life is breathed back into the sedate and still interiors by re-enacting human behaviour relevant to these spaces.
The exhibition 'STILL' is installed in what used to be the Borough Engineer and Borough Architects Drawing Offices and is accessed through the rear entrance of the Town Hall via Weston Park.
The Private Vew is on 4 November and 'STILL' continues Friday 5 November (10.30-16.00), Saturday 6 November (10.30-16.00) and Sunday 7 November (12.00-16.30).
