This was held in an exhibition hall called P3, which is in fact under the University of Westminster, London. The P3 venue is rather wonderful in itself being an underground hanger once used to test concrete for Brimingham’s Spaghetti Junction and the (English) Channel Tunnel.

VIVA VIVA consists of nine multi-channel installations and thirteen films. At the time of writing there is information available on each exhibit here.

It is an absolutely huge amount of material to explore, especially when the written theses are available for reading as well.

I arrived at the exhibition at lunchtime and remained until nearly closing, 7 pm, and even then I felt I had only explored a tiny fragment of that which was available.

I took some pics which I’ve put in the gallery.
