The Ding Dong
Jo Lynch has lived near the Islington/Camden border all her life. As a child she’d walk from her home in Islington over to the land where the Maiden Lane Estate is to play. Back then, this was a wasteland with a band of misfits hanging out on it and an adventure play park. It went by the name of the Ding Dong.

Interview with Nicola Lane about Spirit House
Nicola Lane, artist/filmmaker, talks about her Spirit House exhibition on at the Geddes Gallery. Her childhood memories of living in Bangkok, where every property has a ‘Spirit House’, are the inspiration for the show. These miniature temples are shrines to the protective spirits.
It runs from 16 February – 20 March located at 18 Malden Road Kentish Town. The space is being used as a pop-up gallery as part of a council project to turn unused & vacant retail spaces into use for local artists.
