Shop to squat to art gallery

By Martin Booth  Friday May 20, 2016

A group of squatters has transformed a former shop on Park Street into a temporary art gallery.

What used to be Moss Bros is now Viva La Metamorphosis – two floors of canvasses, sculptures and plenty of scrawling on walls.

In a statement, the group said: “We are creating an open access space for people to meet and manifest their creative powers, released from the constraints of existing exhibition and funding structure.

“Free of history. Free of expectations. An intervention to the urban landscape fermenting a fertile ground for new ideas to emerge and evolve.”

Viva Le Metamorphosis is on display at 76 Park Street on May 20 and 21. For more information, visit www.taaexhibitions.org
