Standing Ground: Screening of The Amazing Story of Talacre, Chalton Gallery
19th July 2017
Standing Ground: Screening of The Amazing Story of Talacre. Organised with London Community Video Archive and Somers Town History Club, Chalton Gallery, 96 Chalton St, Kings Cross, London NW11HJ. This 1974 documentary tells the inspiring story of how a local, self-organised group in Camden came together to campaign for years to turn a disused 2.5-acre site into a permanent community space. The screening is followed by a discussion between Lucy Joyce and artist and founder of public projects research and commissioning studio AIR Anna Hart about the rhythm of presence and absence in public art commissions, formed alliances with a particular site or struggle, and what is left at the end of it all.
