LUVA (Lock Up Visual Art) is a gallery, experiment, social hub and activist moment.
Open for just one day a month and situated in a lock up garage on the Approach
council estate in East London, LUVA is dedicated to exhibiting diverse contemporary
UK artists.
About
Co-run by Jordan McKenzie and students from Central Saint Martins
College of Art, LUVA asks critical questions about the contexts that contemporary art
exists within, its relationship to the geographical/economic/social and cultural space
(the estate) that it occupies and how cultural institutions can have meaningful
dialogues with both local and non-local audiences. Being located in one of the poorer bourghs in the UK, Tower Hamlets, LUVA also acts as a food bank collection point, providing material support to the community that it is situated within.
LUVA's first exhibition will be showing Emma Talbot's work.
Emma Talbot explores a personal experience of being alive in the contemporary world, and the way memories and future projections are perceived in ‘the mind’s eye’.
