Site-responsive live performances and sculptural installation  

Against the rigid order of market rhythms, what emerges as by-products in the peripheries and dead times?  Each morning, unsold flowers from the daily market will be brought to the gallery. Through a live performance they will be brought into composition with the ceramic sculptures and removed at the end of each day. The exposure and dismantling will become a metaphor for the wider development of Nine Elms, with its constant concern to tear down and rebuild. Drawing on the history of the original Covent Garden Market, the performances will also seek to evoke the alternative culture that thrived in pubs that opened at 6 a.m., cafes that sold breakfasts at midnight to shopkeepers as well as club revellers, and the debauchery for which shopkeepers have become famous.
