EAST POP WEST Red Gallery presents a selection of the best East London  
art and design collectives & directives. EAST POP WEST is a  
celebration of contemporary creative collaborations, during a three- 
day event at the recently vacated 20,000 sq ft former Innocent  
Smoothies headquarters, which provides a rare chance for West London  
to engage directly with East London’s artists and designers – to make  
an investment and be part of the first EAST POP venture.

This event looks to bring some of the best from the most eclectic art  
scene around to the people of West London, to inspire, and demonstrate  
just why so much hype has been built up about one area.

A wide range of works including painting, sculpture, graphic art &  
illustration will be on sale and the event will include site-specific  
installations, films, live performances, food & drink and creative  
activities in the children’s art area.
Already with plans to take EAST POP WEST all over the world including  
to Berlin, Edinburgh Festival, Poland and Prague, West London is the  
first destination that will get to discover the vision.

Shoreditch has a rich cultural heritage and over the last three  
decades it’s  become a hub for the arts, in particular the burgeoning  
street art scene. During the 1960s slum clearances left Shoreditch  
riddled with derelict buildings. Artists in the 80’s and 90’s with an  
indomitable pioneering spirit turned warehouses into studios, clubs  
and galleries, transforming the district into the thriving,  
influential creative community it is today.

In recent years the walls of East London have become a continuously  
evolving self-curated gallery of commercially successful street  
artists including Banksy, Roa and Shepard Fairey. Meanwhile, behind  
these walls younger rawer talent has been forming collectives to  
produce exhibitions, live art events, products and publications. The  
result is a rich and exciting union of hand -crafted media and digital  
technologies.

EAST POP WEST – THE ARTISTS

Artswipe
Artswipe includes Ben Eine ,Pure Evil, Dr. D, Cartrain, JBoy, Ben  
Allen, Agent Provocateur, Jo Peel, Tinsel Edwards and  Twinkle  
Troughton.  The artists fall into no particular category but all the  
work is figurative, accessible, has something relevant to say and  
perhaps most importantly, has a sense of humour. The prints are all  
exclusive to Artswipe and are sold online and at art fairs and pop up  
exhibitions.

Decima
Decima Gallery is a London-based arts projects organisation with a  
reputation for irreverent projects, according to a 2008 article in The  
London Paper:

“ART for sex, gay claims for Jesus, pantomime cows – all standard fare  
for infamous London gallery Decima. The space, formerly in a  
Bermondsey back street, built up a rep in the late 90s for its  
headline-grabbing stunts. There was the Fuck Art and Pimp exhibition,  
where Angela Marshall offered her drawings for blow jobs (later  
unveiled as a spoof), the show Was Jesus a Homosexual?, and the time  
Decima’s joint curators Alex Chappel and David West gratecrashed the  
Tate dressed as a pantomime cow to “make people think”—Jessica  
Holland, The London Paper.

Don’t Tell Stories

Led by author and lecturer Rachel Newsome, Don’t Tell Stories are  
imaginative writing workshops that have appeared at festivals such as

Eland, Antonia Wilson, Georgina Richardson, Gerald Curtis, Helga  
Fannon, Kate Jeram, and Mia Gulati.

Gerald Curtis uses performance, poetry, photography and material  
process or a combination of the aforementioned media to propose  
strategies and arguments which explore anomalies between communication  
and space.

Hackey Wicked
Hackney WickED adjust outdoor installations to work within an indoor  
arena and re-presenting studio work in a gallery environment to  
reflect the mecca of artists and the indoor / outdoor spaces within  
Hackney Wick. The collective includes Jonas Ransson and Christina  
Mitrentse who created the 17 metre wall mural - ‘Emblem – Public  
Mural’ in 2011 as part of the Hackney WickEd Art Festival.

Hato Press

Hato Press are a speciality printing and publishing house based in  
London who focus on both screen-printing and the Risograph printing  
processes (using soy based inks). Hato is an ever growing family for  
other creatives. It is a support network established by Ken Kirton,  
Jackson Lam and Louise Naunton Morgan to offer affordable means of  
production to others so they may share their thoughts and dreams. At  
Hato Press we believe in the innate pleasure of making things and  
encourage others to join us. We also like trees and that’s why we only  
stock recycle paper in house.

Keelertornero

Keelertornero make images which belong to an ever expanding epic soap  
opera: 'Ghostjumps and Wormholes' which charts the unlikely trajectory  
of a multitude of real and imaginary characters - human or otherwise.  
Lovingly mopping up the cultural chaff from the sofa crack of our  
brains, Chin Keeler and Emma Tornero work collaboratively, suspending  
preconceived ideas in an animated dialogue of polar styles. They  
create images in which the impossible emerges as something perfectly  
natural, where characters play parts in an all-encompassing illusory  
world – a place of dreams, hallucinations and unkempt fantasy,  
inhabited by strange beings, beasts and insects living out their lives  
just beyond our peripheral vision.

Le Gun

Le Gun magazine was founded in London in 2004 by a group of MA  
graduates from the Communication Art and Design course at the Royal  
College of Art. Distributed world-wide, LE GUN is an independent  
narrative illustration magazine published bi-annually. This  
publication provides a common ground for both emerging and established  
artists, illustrators, writers and poets. The magazine has a  
completely open submissions policy and accepts work from around the  
world.

Material

Material gallery and bookshop began life in 2007.Created to represent  
the work of designers and artists from a myriad of visual disciplines,  
Material promotes limited edition prints and beautifully conceived  
products. Due to the nature of print, much of the work is affordable  
and, in turn, accessible to a wider demographic, stripping away any  
false pretences that may have once been associated with the gallery  
concept. With a desire to share ideas and provide a source of  
discussion and inspiration by way of carefully selected complimentary  
publications, we also pride ourselves on being one of a growing number  
of establishments who, in light of the burgeoning digital age,  
champion the importance of the book in its printed form for fear of  
its inherent demise.

Metric collective

Metric collective is a collective of thinkers and doers, designers and  
makers who use co-creativity to engage and empower. We promote  
creative talent, support craft and provide education for the community.
Mrs. Jones

Fee Doran aka Mrs. Jones is one of Britain’s most colourful, eclectic  
and creative individuals. Famed for her pop star creations which  
includes Kylie’s ‘Can’t Get You Out Of My Head’ White Hooded Catsuit  
and Goldfrapp’s ‘Pony’ tails, Fee has worked with everyone from Giles  
Deacon to Madonna, Scissor Sisters, The Killers, Oxfam and Fred Perry.  
Over years specialising in reuse and transformation of garments, the  
Mrs Jones label was born. Mrs Jones’ ability to transform any garment,  
product or space in to something new and highly desirable has been  
used in collaborations with brands, artists, stylists and designers  
around the world.

New Found Original

New Found Original is a project by Graphic Designers Jo Murray &  
Dominic Bell. They sell a carefully selected collection of graphic  
products – designed, commissioned or found by us, sold at  
newfoundoriginal.com. The products are chosen for the quality of  
design, whether it’s a beautiful vintage item with bold, colourful  
typography, or an exciting collaboration with an up and coming  
designer or artist.

Pure Evil

To understand a bit about Pure Evil it is illuminating to know that he  
is a descendant of Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor who was  
beheaded by King Henry VIII. It is only therefore natural that Pure  
Evil should explore the darker side of the wreckage of Utopian dreams  
and the myth of the Apocalypse, a belief in the life-changing event  
that brings history with all its conflicts to an end.

Rart
Rart are an aware collective of emerging and established artists,  
writers, flutists and designers based in east London and way beyond,  
who share an aim to push new progressive sustainable Artistic  
inventions and empower people through the medium of Art.
Co founders of the two fractions making up RART are Leanne Elliott and  
Ita Maude Wooller, both practicing artists. Now they come together  
with the help of many other creative professionals and artists to  
further their shared belief in ART as a crucial medium of  
communication. They celebrate drawing, sculpting and making  
installations as well as things producing hand-made paper.

The Dark Times

Paul Sakoilsky is an artist, writer, curator and editor of ‘The Dark  
Times’.  With grounding in philosophy, he produces works across  
several media, with the problem/practice of painting being a dominant  
factor. He is perhaps best known for ‘The Dark Times’ project, a  
psycho-political endeavour, works and installations from which have  
been exhibited, published and collected world-wide and the ongoing  
‘Kunst Clown’ performance series.

He is currently working on a series of large-scale paintings,  
performances, future curation projects, and the forthcoming ‘The Dark  
Times: newspaper+2’ publication.

The Department of Memory

'The Department of Memory' is a new collective of photographers whose  
images feature found source material such as newspaper clippings,  
magazines, old photographs and advertising posters, within the urban  
environment. These locations are often disused, forgotten or about to  
be demolished. The photographs record various ephemera, which  
otherwise would remain unseen. There is the everyday here, but also a  
timeless element created in the mix of memorabilia.
