‘Heart of Dixie UK’ in the London Borough of Havering uses an empty shop to provide a temporary space to showcase new talent. In the midst of recession such buildings have become symbolic of a suffering capitalist society and a sign of both the struggles and possibilities the new generation faces.
‘X’s role is not only important in raising relevant discussion among the young, to be heard by all; but also in providing upcoming artists with a stage on which to communicate. Rather than producing a show with aspirations of fame and fortune, ‘X’ demands that young creative’s should finally be listened to in an art market and society that belongs to them, the future.
The project takes place at 53 High Street, Romford from Friday 25th September – Thursday 1st October and is open 11am-5pm.
