Jesus hiding out in the ruins… Too tired to curse or joke… Traces his name in the gathering dust… Cracks open a can of coke…
Radio Joy has released a limited edition (25) set of eight postcards The Death of a Station. Inspired by the last few days of the Foundry and featuring photography by Inga Tillere and an eight verse poem by Johny Brown. Every set contains eight postcards – each with a different image and a verse of the poem. All photos were taken a day before the Foundry officially closed to public.
A ghosting of electric light… Can still be traced in the room… An echo now of worldly desire… A distant cry in a singular tomb…
The Foundry became a victim of greed when Hackney Council granted planning permission to a controversial 18-storey hotel building designed by Squire & Partners despite strong criticism from Cabe and English Heritage. Boris Ivesha, CEO of Art’otel parent company Park Plaza Hotels, said: "We can now build a world-class hotel that will be a showcase for artists and bring jobs to Shoreditch." However there is nothing to showcase and no jobs have been brought to Shoredicth as the building works never started. What used to be the Foundry is now a soulless wreck inhabited by money grabbing rats gnawing at its structure from inside.
You can only warn… But even then your voice is drowned out… By the guttural cries and harsh laughter of the market place… You can only stand by and remain unnoticed...
RIP Foundry

Band Of Holy Joy London, UK
Margin walkers and midnight drifters, Band of Holy Joy have wandered liminal landscapes of their own making for 3 decades now. The weirdness and wildness of the landscape they stagger through, the askew vision like a crash between Coleridge, Brecht and David Peace, the literary allusions and poetry, the strangeness of it all. A cultural piracy raiding doomed melancholy and gentrified mediocrity. ... more
