I am very excited to invite you a series of events at the gallery surrounding the book launch of ELSEWHERE, by artist David Austen and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Hisham Matar.
This marks the gallery’s first full length publication, and brings together Matar’s short story NEW SHOES, Austen’s series of thirty drawings, an essay by Matthew Holman and photography by Isabelle Young.
Readings will be taking place on:
– Thursday 15 October at 5pm: a reading of NEW SHOES by Charlie Mellor, operatic tenor, restaurateur and owner of Osteria Vibrato

– Sunday 18 October at 5pm: a reading of NEW SHOES by Tim McMullan, actor, most recently in Fackham Hall and Moonflower Murders
Written in first-person, NEW SHOES will be brought to life by each reader. The readings will last approximately 30 minutes each.
All of these events are free and open house, they will take place at 1–3 Old Compton Street, London W1D 5JB.
