The House of Detention is a spectacular remnant of Old London, a dank, dark
underground prison built in 1616. In the subterranean chambers beneath
Clerkenwell - the old heart of Radical London - thousands of prisoners met
their fate.The prison was used up until the end of the 19th century and today it is a
museum.
The Colosseum Projects latest exhibition at the House of Detention is an
underground exhibition of underground art. The artists of the Colosseum
Project will create a wonderland of film, video, installation and
performance within the strange subterranean world of the ancient prison,
exploring the meaning and contexts of space.
