'Seizure', Elephant and Castle

[moose]

Anyone been to this? My sister only told me about it after I'd returned from my first trip to E&C in 3 years

It's a derelict flat, which has been filled with a strong copper sulphate solution till crystals have formed on every surface. They poured the solution in from above, through a hole in the ceiling. I wish, wish, wish, I'd seen it

 

[El Jefe]

Phew! thanks for reminding me, I read about it and then completely forgot

 

[beeboo]

I'm going to see it next week, will let you know. It's on until November 3rd, closed Mondays, IIRC. Free as well

 

[Crispy]

MUST see this

 

[quimcunx]

Oooh, interesting.

*intends to make note to go, probably forgets*

 

[gaijingirl]

my flatmate went to see this and said it's amazing... the pictures certainly look good..

 

[butterfly child]

Oooh, interesting.

*intends to make note to go, probably forgets*

This is SO me.

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, it's great. There's not much to it really. It's just a tiny flat lined with huge blue crystals, but how blue they are. It's certainly the bluest thing I've ever seen.

Bloody hell that looks amazing!

We've just changed our saturday from junction tavern beerfest, we're going here instead, definitely.

Cheers moose! would never have known about it otherwise.

 

[joustmaster]

I must have walked straight past it on my way back to William's flat

My sister said it was brilliant. Take pics! Post them here!

Completely random stuff like this which 99% of the people in the city won't even know about is why London is a great city.

Put that in your pipe and smoke, it mmmskyscraper

Spot on. I went to see this today (well, yesterday). If you get the chance, you should definitely go along. One of the best things I've seen for a while. And it's free.

It has been extended to the 30th November. I think it's open Thursdays-Sundays only.

This is exactly the kind of thread that shouldn't be in the general forum by the way. Perhaps a mod would be kind enough to move it to the London & SE section where it won't just disappear off the bottom of the page within a few hours.

Is as good as her word.

Resolves to make note again.

 

[bluestreak]

This thread is a rollercoaster. OMG! Want! NO! finished pretty!!! EXTENDED YAY!

Will check it out ASAP.

 

[teuchter]

Aside from the crystals, you get to wear welly boots.

 

[quimcunx]

Well. It'll make me all nostalgic for tattie picking.

 

[keithy]

I went a few weeks back - tis good. Going again soon when I get the chance

 

[madzone]

Unfortunately I'd be in bed for a month if I went

Wonder what inspired them to do it?

I put it in here cos of the non-Londoners who may be interested who never set foot in the London forum.

Why?

 

[mango5]

I'll probably go around 2ish today. Didn't get in last time I went due to long queues.

 

[gaijingirl]

Is it still open? I'd quite like to go see this. The article I saw said it was open until November 2nd...
