Due to unprecedented demand, Mutate Britain are reopening their show, One Foot In The Grove from December 4th to December 20th.

If you didn't check it out earlier this year, get yourself over to Ladbroke Grove and take a look at the freehand painting, stencils and paste-ups, from three to thirty feet high, all adorning the huge walls.

 

One Foot In The Grove is a 15,000 square foot open air exhibition of street art, giant sculpture and installations, fully licensed for 1,250 people, underneath the West Way Road Bridge (3-6 Acklam Rd, London, W10 5YU).

An art events movement run by a group of friends and collaborators Mutate Britain work together to take art out of the gallery and into the city.  Their history spans staging art events at free parties across the UK and Europe in the late 80s to now playing a major role at huge music festivals both nationally and internationally.

Infamous for their post-apocalyptic scenes, giant mutoid sculptures made from refuse on a military scale are carefully curated to build the Mutate Britain atmosphere over in the Westway. Helicopters, dinosaurs and prancing horses sculpted and engineered by Joe Rush, Alex Wreckage and Sam Haggerty punctuate the floor space alongside Giles Walker's pole dancing robots, LRRY the fire breathing bull and a three dimensional holographic human face.


In further news, on December 12th, Mutate Britain present a spectacular skate installation built by The Mutoid Waste Company for the now legendary annual Crossfire Xmas Skateboard Jam. This collaboration highlights the mutual respect between the two events and the mutated vehicle will have to be seen to be believed!

 

Tickets to cover the two events will be available on the door at The Crossfire Skate Jam. Entry is just down the road from One Foot In The Grove at Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark, 66-67 Acklam Road, London W10 5YU from 12pm-6pm. £10 entry to the Xmas Skate Jam. £12 entry to both Xmas Skate Jam & Mutate Britain Exhibition (with wristband). Tickets available on door at Bay Sixty 6 Skatepark.
