Crimes Town Gallery

The Crimes Town Gallery in Stoke Newington ran between July 2007 and March 2010. The gallery was run by Gavin Toye and Ben Newton who are both artists. It existed in the Sea Cadets building on Stoke Newington Hight St. In May 2008 Toye and Newton staged "Walpurgisnacht" at their gallery, a group show featuring artists such as Cathy Lomax, James Unsworth and Sarah Sparkes. Walpurgisnacht is traditionally the biggest Witches Sabbath of the year, the time when the forces of the supernatural meet with the mortal world. This show was previewed in the Guardian Guide by Jessica Lack.

In June 2008 guest curator Harry Pye organised a group show called, "Poetic Licence". This exhibition featured sixteen artists including John Moseley, Barry Thompson, and Edward Ward. Each of the show's contributors made a painting or drawing that was inspired by their love of a favourite poem.

gollark: Venusing Earth is probably quite hard. Although I think it'll happen naturally in a billion years or so.
gollark: This would be bad for technology, slow and/or wildly unethical, and not very helpful except under negative utilitarianism.
gollark: Subsistence farming is actually boring and unpleasant though. It is good that we stopped doing it. Although "monke" would be hunter-gathering, strictly. Which is no longer possible at scale due to loss of habitats and population growth.
gollark: That would be silly. I just do things at the correct time.
gollark: Because of rampant nonconsecutive version numbers in phones, 2060 through 2078 actually happen after 2093.
