The Artist

The British artist Elizabeth McAlpine is interested in the space between things, those fleeting experiences that go unnoticed and unremembered. She finds in them the tools with which to make the everyday a little bit more poetic. McAlpine is also interested in photographic process and the steps and stages traversed in order to make a photographic image. 


The Exhibition


In Tiptoe McAlpine makes rubbings of paving concrete which are then made into photographic objects. Retaining a 1:1 scale, the rubbing is painted with photographic emulsion and exposed to light – essentially making it into a photograph. But it is a photograph of a physical, sensual impression rather than a traditional visual image. It is a case of seeing through the memory of touch. The pavement is presented as an echo, a memory of our own experience of its surface - falling down, scraping our hands as children, or summer days spent without shoes. There is a subtlety and a delicacy to this work that is both too beautiful and fleeting to be missed.

    One of East London’s most beautiful weekly events occurs on a Sunday. No, not the  Columbia Road Flower Market . With fine and unusual blooms, a  wide variety of plants and fantastic prices, this temporary jungle-sale is not to be missed.  The bustling creative-crowd-atmosphere and strings of quaint coffee shops make for a  fantastic urban safari.

    FOR DINNER

    Try Mr Buckley’s on Hackney Road is a typically trendy east London eatery; a little ambitiously pretentious but worth a visit. Start in the lower-tier cocktail bar. The espresso  Martini packs a punch. Upstairs inventive small plates allow for a great sharing  experience. Try the lobster mac & cheese –a love or hate dish.
