Dollars To Pounds: Glass Ceiling
- story THE FADER
There is an urban festival in London now almost every weekend. These multi-venue events style themselves as a utopian cross between an old-fashioned all-dayer, a pub crawl and – particularly in the case of last week’s Concrete & Glass, which incorporated intriguing new exhibitions from the likes of Gerry Fox and The Outcrowd Collective—a contemporary art happening. The reality is that you spend half the time in a queue, wandering around unfamiliar streets cursing a hopelessly vague hand-drawn map, or backed into the corner of a rammed venue, too scared to leave lest it’s another hour ‘til your next beer. Finding the correct Shoreditch art bunker from which to pick up my Concrete & Glass pass proved a mission in itself, but wristband secured, I hotfooted it to Hoxton Square to catch ZunZunEgui at the Blank Tapes showcase.
