Present Imperfect
The former Estée Lauder headquarters, now dilapidated and ‘on the edge of dereliction’, serve as the venue for this two-day exhibition by new art collective Present Imperfect. Presenting a series of artworks developed over the past year, the artists consider the changing nature of art making and exhibition production, in particular the way ‘the site of production has now invaded the exhibition itself, and creation and presentation are conflated’.
Wednesday 6 & Thursday 7 June 2018, Estée Lauder Building, 73-75 Grosvenor Street, London W1K 3BQ.
