East London, since the 20th Century, has been a haven for artists and artistic institutions. “Pretty much every major artist in London has worked in East London at one time or another, including numerous Turner Prize winners.” [1] Bethnal Green, once home to Jack the Ripper and WWII bombings, has among neighbouring localities, become home to a number of galleries: Modern Art, Fred, Vilma Gold, 20 Projects, The Cell Project, Victoria Miro to name a few….
