Art night

Art Night is London’s nocturnal contemporary art festival taking place on 7th July 2018. It’s an all-night free event where twelve renowned artists will transform spaces and galleries across London, running down the length of the river Thames.

One of the highlights of this year’s line-up will be Anthea Hamilton transforming Battersea Power Station with augmented reality. Anne Mullins, Head of Culture, Nine Elms Vauxhall Partnership, said:

“This is such an exciting time for Art Night to come to Nine Elms, as it continues to transform from an area of light industry to a vibrant new district of central riverside London. The festival is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the area, its heritage, it’s an exciting cultural offer while bringing everyone together.”

This year’s event will partner up with the recently reopened Hayward Gallery where visitors will see a giant outdoor video projection of a comfortably furnished living room exploding in slow motion.

Art Night will be truly unique for Battersea and Nine Elms since the event will explore the rich history of gardening and urban produce between Southbank and Battersea Power Station, a historically known area of London for its production and supply of vegetables, fruit and flowers.

This is the largest free contemporary festival of London where internationally renowned artists will take the lead to show us Thames’ riverbank as we’ve never seen it before. MBNA Thames Clippers boat will also run a bespoke route until 4 am on the night of 7th July to accommodate art lovers to the installations and galleries.

The village hall

Battersea Power Station’s commitment to enhancing the community in Nine Elms is reflected in the £6.8 million investment in cultural programs. This new venue created in collaboration with Battersea Arts Center is situated beneath the railway arches in Circus West Village, Phase 1 of the development. The Village Hall spans across 5,000 sq. ft. as a multi-use venue featuring two performance spaces.

It comprises a 150-seat main hall that will be programmed with theatre, dance, and comedy, as well as a smaller studio space, which can be used for community-focused activities.

Kate Scanlan, Senior Events Manager at Battersea Power Station, has highlighted the challenge in creating a community-led arts venue as part of new development. “We are all committed to this vision of how culture is the central point of creating a sense of a new space in an iconic location that everybody loves, everyone feels ownership over but actually no one has ever had public access to” Scanlan has noted.
