Venue- The Old Deptford Police Station

The venue we chose is 'The Old Deptford Police Station' in Lewisham, near New Cross Station and Goldsmith College

The Old Police Station is part of a transforming programme. It's an artist-run project called 'do-it-your-self-art-centre' combining gallery spaces, independent project spaces, over 40 artist’s studios, a radio station and tea rooms together with social events areas.

We chose it mainly due to the low rate, compared with its nice space( £125 for all the rooms).

The venue is highly accessible: 5mins walk from New Cross Station, 10 minswalk from New Cross Gate, and connected by bus 53, 453, 36, 436, 171, 177.

Located near Goldsmiths College and Town Hall, and with artists stuios in same building, the venue is in the centre of art life in this area. The weekly special party, 'Dirty Cop Friday', held in the station will help further to attract a broad audience.

It also benefits of necessary services: heating, light, power, cafe, bar and toilets. The spacial and cozy cafe can be used to organize artists talk.

We believe that South London is the emerging new art area. Not saturated like East and West End, with art academies(Goldsmiths, Camberwell, etc.), there is great possibility in the South.

Interview Room - First room on the left after entrance

Corridor outside prisoner cells - Enter cafe and walk through it

final title: See you, See me

We chose this title cuz it's more inclusive, can cover different aspects, rather than merely describe the artworks.

It can be a dialogue between you and the artists, the artwork; between you and your companion; between you and environment, even between you and other strangers come to the show.

It's so simple, easy to remember.
See you, See me is also the name of a famous old song. People are familiar with this phrase, so it can arouse sympathy and interest more easily and quickly.
