About
The Mayor's Parlour is a new arts club situated in the 1930s old Bow Town Hall in East London. Established and converted to a high modern specification by neonist and art fabricator Kerry Ryan, the new Mayor's Parlour retains the fundamentals and elegance of the original interior. It opens with this diverse exhibition curated and produced by the renowned London based outfit Plus Art Projects.
The 2012 show includes a souvenir from the Chapman Brothers' controversial Hell sculpture, brand new neon artworks by Tracey Emin, Gavin Turk and David Batchelor, taxidermy sculpture by Polly Morgan, and a myriad of paintings which range in subject and scale. Pieces are numbered, not conventionally listed so the viewer encounters the work directly, without knowing authorship.
Plus Art Projects has a history of bringing together artists working across many media. The works here include painting, sculpture, neon, photography, taxidermy, film, drawing and mixed media.
