As part of London’s largest free contemporary arts festival, Henderson will take over the Flower Market from 6pm – 4am, creating a newly commissioned durational performance piece called Vision 3: Flower Transition (2018). As the UK’s biggest, specialist flower and plant hall supplying 75% of London’s florists, the market provides an apt location for this celebration of horticulture.
Ksenia Zemtsova and Philippine Nguyen, Founders of Art Night said “Art Night 2018 will continue to offer an artistic exploration of London, celebrating diversity, culture, heritage and architecture, through an engaging, free and multidisciplinary programme of events. We’re delighted to present the programme in South London for the first time this year and to continue to be a part of the city’s growing night-time culture.”
Artist Anna Skladmann will also create an installation piece for the facade of the Flower Market building. Her work will explore notions of nature and society, cultivation and the machine, using specimens sourced from the market.
Art Night is free to attend and those visiting the Flower Market simply need to turn up between 6pm and 4am on Saturday 7th July to catch Tamara Henderson’s durational performance.
