Concept
The Old Police Station is an open-ended curatorial proposal. Started in Feb 2009, the 'do-it-yourself art centre' is an occupational infrastructure, an experimental model both as a architectural support structure but also economically. Sustained by studio rental income, it does not receive core funding. It is a charitable social hub for an emerging location exploring and broadcasting artistic concepts of all kinds, encouraging participation in all media. The project is created by Anthony Gross, from the curatorial partnership temporarycontemporary (www.tempcontemp.co.uk) that ultimately explored the idea of exhibition as Social Club. The 'do-it-yourself' art centre concept is intended by Gross as a nomadic approach that can be applied to different contexts.
The building is occupied by the studio charity reg 1123395 that has been providing artist studios since 2006.

The correlation between the frustration of a dismissed public and the desire to relinquish power from those who have been entrusted with it - such as politicians, the media and private corporations - is becoming increasingly evident. This feeling of dissatisfaction bubbled over in the eruption of the summer riots, the nationwide Occupy movement and widespread strike action.
We ask what can: whistling, UFO’s, The Sims, Bambi and action movie spoofs do to challenge this state of affairs?
The Private View kicks things off on the 27th January at 6pm, with an evening of events, screenings and live music at The Old Police Station in Deptford. This will be featured as part of the South London Art Map's 'Last Fridays' series.
