An exhibition of artists who collect, list, database and absurdly analyse the data of everyday life.
A mere mile south of concrete-battered Waterloo is a nice little enclave of Georgian terraces and some bohos seemingly living around this 4 storey house that is part living space of the gallerist (who always opens the door personally) and part exhibition space.
I was naturally attracted by the shows title and I am happy to have seen documentation of trolley abductors where attached tags identify location of lost or stolen trolleys at a local Tesco. Christian Nold's Bio Mapping device allows you to measure your levels of stress and excitement as you walk through the city. Devices will be available to borrow from the gallery on a drop-in basis throughout the exhibition.
My favorite though is the little video in the entrance area of Richard Dedomenici who walked along the boarder of inner London to gather the exact demarcation line of 0207 vs 0207 phone number prefixes.
For fans of conceptual art as well as for geeks and people with a curiosity for the obvious and the odd.
FREE entry; until 23 April at Daniel Arnaud Contemporary Art, Kennington
