LONDON.-
After two years and a £870,000 renovation
project, Dilston Grove, an historic Grade II listed former church in
Southwark
Park, reopened its doors as a spectacular venue for large-scale
presentations of
contemporary art. Except for a brief period in the 1970’s, when it
served as
Richard Wentworth’s studio, Dilston Grove remained empty and derelict
until it
was rescued by CGP London in 1999. Since then, it has been in continual
use as a
temporary project space for artists and performers. Previous exhibitions
at
Dilston Grove include Richard Wilson’s “Turbine Hall Swimming Pool”,
Shona
Illingworth’s “The Watch Man”, and Andrew Kotting’s “In The Wake of
Deadad”.
Dilston Grove has also hosted work from artists such as Ackroyd &
Harvey,
Michael Cross and Mike Nelson.
