Disused Petrol Station on Wood Lane to Become Pioneering Art Space

---

Art magazine Elephant promises installations by emerging artists plus a cafe

A disused petrol station on Wood Lane, which has attracted attention since being transformed into an "immersive art piece' last year is now set to become a pioneering project space.

Designers Craig & Karl created the brightly coloured work within the disused station,  their first major public artwork in London, which they called 'Hereafter,' suggesting a place to meet or something that is yet to come.

Now Elephant magazine say they will commission an ambitious programme of installations within the space by emerging artists, break down barriers between traditional art forms, live-stream their office life – and open a cafe.

They say this is how the space might look from Wood Lane.

The project is being designed by architects Liddicoat & Goldhill, who say: "The project is for the temporary transformation of the former petrol station at White City in West London into an international-standard art project space with ancillary food and beverage area.

"The gallery is a physical manifestation of cutting edge art magazine, Elephant Magazine. The space will look to host high quality, contemporary, large scale installation for emerging artists."

You can see more illustrations on the company's website.

Elephant Magazine describe themselves as " the definitive guide to contemporary art and visual culture" and it's hoped that the project space will provide opportunities for local young artists to show their work.
