To an outsider
20 Farringdon Street appears to be out-of-service. An unregulated and
unlit building whose surfaces have lost their gleam; an out-of-date
monument to the not-so-distant past. Situated in the City of London, the
surrounding architecture is permanently illuminated as the bulk of
multinational corporations forms the backdrop to the labours of a
workforce that operates into the night. 20 Farringdon Street is a
seven-story building that has been stripped back to its skeletal
structure. It is a hermetically sealed space formed of a series of
cavernous L-shaped rooms which each encompass an entire floor of the
building.
Between the 25 November and 18 December, this empty space
operates as the Farringdon Factory; an open studio complex for live
events, screenings and installations, performances and talks.
The
Factory Cinema is located on the ground floor and will host a programme
of short films made by both resident and invited artist/filmmakers.
This curated programme will seek to connect the studio practice upstairs
with both visitors and the pedestrians on the street, locating the
building itself as a unique site for observation and discussion.
The Factory builds upon research by artists Natasha Cox and Keira Greene, whose collaborative practice
engages with the construction of the photographic image and the
mechanisms of cinema.
