Ruins of Time | Tower - London - Munich Exchange Collective

15th - 19th July. Exhibition opens daily 1pm - 6pm. Entry is Free.

RUINS OF TIME | Tower is the latest in a series of site-specific projects by artists of the LME (London-Munich-Exchange collective), investigating the passage of time and its specific expression in the place, space and architecture of the site. This exhibition explores St. Augustine’s Tower, the oldest building in Hackney.

British and German artists from the collective use the Tower, all that remains of the original C13th church, built on a Knights Templar estate, to examine themes revolving around time and ruins: transience and transformation, collapse and decay. Immersive artworks, sound pieces, video and light works and even plants, engage with the Tower’s ancient history, as well as its more recent uses as a gardener’s tool shed and public mortuary.

Founded in 2015 by artists and curators Eleonora Bourmistrov and Milena Michalski, LME is a collective of international artists with connections to either city.
