Islington Arts Factory
2 Parkhurst Road 
London

Some of London and the South East’s most talented graduates present works in drawing, painting, site-specific installation, large-scale print, photography and sculpture.

David Cutts, Kristian Evju, Joseph Goody, Jonathan Kelly, Jessica Piddock, Chloe Precey, Jennifer Price, Dylan Shields, Katharine Tolladay, Simon Veis.

The unique nature of Islington Arts Factory has inspired site specific installation work from Katherine Tolladay, as she references the multi-arts nature of the centre in a new collaboration with performance artist and choreographer Antje Hildebrandt. Simon Veis has created a new drawing installation inspired by the fascinating history and architecture of the building.

Sculptor Dylan Shields has created a new large scale cardboard piece based on The Incredulity of Saint Thomas by Bernard Strozzi. Also on a grand scale is Jennifer Price’s mono print of a shopping trolley on to fabric.

Just-us is a challenging series based on Jessica Piddock’s correspondence with criminals awaiting execution on death row in the USA; from this she has developed an installation especially for Metamorphose featuring a portrait of Steven Woods who was executed on the 13th September this year.

Pop-up design will take place from 23 – 27 of November at 115 Dulwich Road in the vibrant area of Herne Hill / Brixton. The pop-up store has only one leitmotiv “creativity and quality” and aims to promote emerging talents. You will find a wide range of products (photography, fashion, interior design) and a space to meet and share.
