AiR, The Valley Room

The Valley Room is a research and project space created by AiR. It considers artist-making in the Lea Valley through a gathering of artefacts, films, objects, maps, books. Monthly openings highlight one artwork, with the artist making an intervention or exhibition.

The Festival of Industry has supported AiR to collaborate with local businesses to explore their making and mending; to collect local artefacts including cladding from the recently demolished Drumsheds with which to construct a display system; to commission three artist interventions reflecting on Lea Valley works (Maeve Lawrence, Hilary Powell, Henrietta Williams); and to host the first public openings of the Valley Room.

The Valley Room is located in AiR’s studio beside the Banbury Reservoir at Unit A29, Hastingwood Trading Estate, London N18 3HU. It is open on Thursdays 12-4pm by appointment, please email info@airstudio.org to arrange a time. The Lea Valley Artwork Map is also available online.
