I went back to the exhibition 'Seizure' today, just a couple of days before it is finished for good. I first went after it opened in September 2009 - Al took me there when we got back from ATP NY and wanted something fun and positive in London to look at post-NY depression. We met up in Elephant & Castle and I had no idea where we were going, and soon enough we were walking through a derelict estate on Harper Road. I still had no idea what to expect when we arrived at the dreary social housing. First of all we had to queue to get into one flat, to swap our shoes for welly boots, which was exciting but also made me nervous. What exactly was I getting myself into? Next we queued outside the exhibition itself, and it was then that I stepped into another world.
All around me were blue crystals. Everything I touched, everywhere I looked, were blue crystals. It was exciting but freaky. I felt out of my comfort zone, it was like stepping onto a new planet when I never knew of it's existence.
Re-visiting the project today was exciting again. This time I was prepared (and sadly there was no welly boot experience, just a one hour queue into the main exhibit) and I was looking forward to getting back in. It didn't disappoint.
There are only two days left before this exhibition closes and the site is demolished, I would definitely visit before it's too late!
