LONDON.- Coinciding with their summer launch, GALERIE8 will be opening their permanent space with the exhibition Hackney Hoard, 22nd July – 28th August, 2011. The exhibition is an inquiry into the value and status placed on contemporary art and the role it plays in society, regardless of its literal monetary value in terms of the materials from which it is made. For this project, GALERIE8 will be working with artists Adam Dant, Gavin Turk, Terry Castle, LE GUN artists, Annabel Tilley, Matthew Killick and the Last Tuesday Society. On the 12th July 2007, whilst re-landscaping their back garden, four residents of Hackney, East London , unearthed eighty mystery gold coins.
