Minnie Weisz Studio - A Message to King's CrossMinnie Weisz Studio - A Message to King's Cross

2010-2011

Minnie Weisz Studio commissioned a series of artists to treat a billboard on Goods Way as a blank canvas to respond to King's Cross - to its past, present and future. The temporary exhibition ran for six months during which various artworks were displayed.

Minnie Weisz, artist and gallery director, created a giant pinhole negative of the last gasholder on Goods Way before it is dismantled and refurbished; 'an ode to the gasholder'.

Minnie has been documenting and creating photographic installations within areas of transience and regeneration in London and in Europe. She is a graduate of London College of Printing and the Royal College of Art.

Typographer Jonathan Barnbrook, one of the UK's most active graphic designers, offered a potted history of this ever-changing area in a range of different fonts.

Jonathan is a graduate of the University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins, whose new facilities, for 4,000 staff and students, opened in The Granary Complex at King's Cross in September 2011.

Sculptor, set designer and painter Adam Zoltowski, who's work includes designing and executing the Channel 4 idents, created 'Road Trip', a painting about returning home late at night, driving through King's Cross.

Adam is a graduate of the University of the Arts London, Chelsea Art School.
