darkness falls on unlimited gallery

seen a few diverting sights at the Camden Town Unlimited gallery space which is tucked up a back alley in NW1. there were the London-based Chinese artists of ArtGap. there was the temporary and unstable stuff gathered by Caroline Soyez-Petithomme and Tom Trevatt. then last month it was all about pylons.


those days are over. the current offering, a film by Australian artist Peter Sant, will be the last before the Camden Town Unlimited space is handed over to make way for a new private gallery.

not sure what to make of Sant's film because on stumbling into the gallery, it was not clear what point had been reached in the narrative about the lives of a young middle-class Chinese family whose routines play out in the unlikely setting of a department store. the few minutes glimpsed were easy on the eye but more time is needed to explore the scenes and lives on the screen. Sant's film continues unwinding there until 12th Feb so you have a week to check it out and to take one last look at Camden Town Unlimited space in its current guise, albeit this time with the big windows blacked out to enable the showing of the film.
