Spit & Sawdust, London

Comprising 3 major exhibitions of emerging artists over the course of 12 months, ABSINTHE was a hybrid, eclectic and at points inexplicable presentation of the weirder side of London’s emerging art scene; a kaleidoscopic trip into the city’s  alternative art practices. ABSINTHE §1 presented the work of 26 London-based artists, a fortnightly live events programme, inaugural ABSINTHE publication and one-week residency programme in Gallaic, France.
