The Winter story involves a score group of emerging and established artists, architects and critics working cross-disciplined and being critically engaged to their production mode. Daring to put themselves in question, they reinvent their making in a constant relation with the public.

During the Frieze art fair , from 13 to18 October, artists from several European countries hidden underneath the vast London Tube network, at London Bridge station, will explore with a collaborative spirit various artistic processes and disciplines in the impressive space of the Shunt.

Collaboration, site, context and time specific will be their central connection point, that will transform the show as an unforeseeable and spontaneous event for the public though as in the background it purely remains a consideration about experimentation.

Without introducing any particular themes or direction lines, the artists have previously worked together and created workshops and shows in France and in England interrogating collaboration, transmission, collision, and contamination.

The shunt will be the perfect location for these exchanges, for a relational show in progress reinventing and appreciating art as a process. In that underground space the artist will find itself "under pressure" and will reveal the sensation of these dangerous positions.

London Bridge Mystery (ongoing)

Most people have a story to tell about the London Bridge area, the River Thames and its murky water.
Real or fake. Read in tabloids, witnessed, dreamt, told by so and so.
Whatever the source we would like to hear your tale at Shunt or on our blog:

CCC

Improvisation

(city composer's collective)is a London based free improvisation group, who met at city university.
They will place microphones and performers (flute, clarinet, electro, found objects...) in every part of the dark rooms and corridors of the shunt realms. The sound is picked up by the microphones and sent to a central computer where it is mixed and fed back into the space via speakers. After some time this will create feedback and build up a drone.

JULIE CURTISS / SARAH TROUCHE

Still, blue and bright in the air and falls in the reactor of the chain in reaction.

Live drawing

Drawing in progress throughout the week relying on the notion of proliferation and repetition reminiscent of doodles, automatic and unconscious mark making, creating large pattern as a result.
