The Foundry:
A Retrospective
by Spike Spiegel
For over 10 years, The Foundry in East London has been a home to artists wanting to exhibit work as well as avant-garde musicians and political activists. But the venue is now under threat by developers wanting to build a boutique hotel. It is hoped that The Foundry will re-locate somewhere nearby but this is still uncertain.
One of the unique aspects of The Foundry is its tacit encouragement pf graffiti upon the walls inside the venue. Whilst other establishments might paint over the walls, street art has found a welcoming home there. The following photographs attempt to capture the atmosphere of The Foundry in all its ramshackle glory.
