Host

Basic Space is currently one of the most exciting art venues around. You have to absolutely check it out. It effortlessly taps into the great romantic art fantasy and is a perfect example of vacant space opportunities within the city. This warehouse (what a cliché) is huge. The building is limited only in its obscure expiry date, available until it is knocked down to make room for a hotel. In the mean time artists use it for a studio, exhibitions and screenings, the odd shoot and filming. Host is 17 artists who applied and were selected to commit themselves to a six week long 'summer camp' with the aim to exhibit. The work is varied, the only thing that brought these artists together was the warehouse's ability. The exhibition previews tonight and is one of #DubCon11's other venues. I can't stress enough how excitingly large a space this is.
