The Charity Shop 18th - 20th Sep08, Gallery5 London

I meant to post this this morning but got distracted by the Dymaxion, apologies...

Opening today for just 3 days (er, 2 now, sorry again!) The Charity Shop is an exhibition of work for children, about children although adults and perpetual children such as us are welcome I'm sure.

Shannon Conley has collaborated with Sardine & Tobleroni (of The Monkey In The Box) for this project aimed at raising awareness of and provoking change around the global issue of children in need. The work incorporates charity shop finds (hence the title) which have been transformed by the artists to reveal new meanings related to the theme, in a very unique style.

20% of sale prices will be divided and donated to both the Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust and Green Tara Trust.

Venue: Gallery 5
Address: 5 Blenheim Crescent, London W11 2EE
Open: Today with private view tonight, oh no, we've missed that...
Friday 19th Sep - 11am to 7pm / Saturday 20th Sep - 10am to 7pm
Go see. It's free!
