We’ve added a new photo gallery section featuring bands that performed at this years Concrete and Glass and also the art that was exhibited in our acclaimed Heart Of Glass show in the basement of Shoreditch Town Hall.
Heart of Glass, if you missed out was curated by Flora Fairbairn & Paul Hitchman, it provided a platform for new work by 33 artists selected via open submission. An overall winner was chosen by an prestigious and wide ranging panel of art luminaries that include lauded musician Alison Goldfrapp, Saatchi Gallery Director Philippa Adams, Director of The Contemporary Art Society Paul Hobson, internationally renowned artists Gavin Turk and Marc Quinn, art critic Rachel Campbell-Johnston, and Irene Bradbury, Associate Director of White Cube Gallery, each of whom picked their three favourite works with the inaugural winner Kate MccGwire being awarded a solo show at next year’s Concrete and Glass.
Kate MccGwire as the winner of this year’s Heart of Glass with ‘Vex’, a sleek and tightly coiled alive-looking serpent-like sculpture made from homing-pigeon feathers and presented in an antique display case.
Kate MccGwire graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2004. Her MA-show work, ‘Brood’, an installation using thousands of chicken wishbones, was shown at the Saatchi Gallery that same year, and she has since exhibited widely, including two residencies, the most recent in New York. The public will get another chance to see ‘Vex’ at The Animal Gaze which runs from November 18th to December 12th, Unit 2 Gallery, London E1 (directly opposite the Whitechapel Gallery), Unit 6 and Metropolitan Works (Commercial Road).

here’s the spin…
An intimate, diverse and rampant rampage through Shoreditch streets
capturing the visceral and mind-spinningly eclectic music/arts fusion which
was this year’s inaugural Concrete And Glass. From dubstep to cabaret,
exhibitions in dungeons to defacing Yoko Ono’s art, this year’s
Concrete and Glass was the most bizarre yet rewarding eulogy to modern culture; with intimate conversations with the key acts and artists themselves disgracing
themselves backstage, the organisers, and the attendees too.
