MARCH The Street

Sunday 30 March, another East End event was launched in historical Wentworth Street (home to Petticoat Lane market) planned to become a huge space for contemporary art in an outreach project, conceived by the Whitechapel Gallery which has invited Danish art critic Lars Bang Larsen and General Public Agency to work with the artists commissioned to create art for The Street. The first artist is Nedko Solakov, whose work explores the potential of art to be a catalyst for social change. Working from a disused shop, the artist will navigate the context of the street through public interventions. Look forward to October, when Danish artist Jens Haaning will present his contribution for The Street.
