Open Doors London's debut exhibition W12 is going to be in Hammersmith this Saturday 24th Sept. It will be a one day only pop-up show boasting artwork of all kinds from sculpture, to painting, photography and even crochet! W12 is the first of many exhibitions in which the borough hosting the exhibition is the theme of the artwork itself. Take a look at their blog for a sneak peek of the work involved.
I stumbled upon Open Doors through twitter and instantly loved the idea - particularly the fact that all exhibitions will be held in people's homes. The work involved in putting up and taking down an entire exhibition in just one day is staggering, and is a testament to the passion and dedication of Tom and Katy the OpenDoors creators.
The premise of these borough-inspired exhibitions is that they are a way of documenting the lives of people living in a certain area. Street Photography is all about documenting the way in which we live now and fits in well with this concept. I am lucky to have a few of my street shots in the show, my favourite being 'White City' which I took whilst interning in W12 early this year.
If you are in West London this Saturday pop in to Open Doors W12 at 28 Galloway Road, Hammersmith to see what it's all about! Spread the word and follow them on twitter at: @OpenDoorsLondon.
