We recommend 'Joyride’ at Elevator Gallery, this Saturday.
Our Nightlife correspondent ARTHUR EMERY tells you why:
Elevator Gallery is the most legendary venue in E9. It occupies the attic of a former Victorian chocolate factory in London’s Hackney Wick and is probably the most important institution to have arrived on the scene in that area, famed for its off kilter avant-garde parties and the transgressive, thought provoking work shown by curators Simon Reuben White and Snoozie Hexagon. Whilst much of the wick has recently been gentrified - rents for industrial units have spiralled out of reach for anyone but the super-rich art student, and not to mention the transformation of much of the area with the coming Olympics - a lot of people have headed off to the heady new underground scene in south east London. However, Elevator Gallery is still holding the torch in the Wick and remains an oasis of edgy, hot ideas and events. They’ve invited the Dead Pets Society into the space this Saturday for one of the Galleries more conventional parties - think eclectic party music from across the genres rather than banging techno. Expect dressing up, mayhem and more at Hackney Wick’s most legendary art and rave space this saturday night. Tickets are £5 on the door.
Elevator Gallery, Queens Yard, Hackney Wick, E9 5EN. Kicks off at 10.
