Gateway Games
This is a Past Event and has been Archived.
An exhibition of speculative architectural models and drawings set in the Thames Gateway, investigating the wider context within which the forthcoming Olympic Games and its legacy is located. This story is told with the help of Charles Dickens, Georges Perec, JG Ballard, Iain Sinclair, and Angela Carter, starting with the moment when, in Dicken’s Great Expectations, Pip is turned upside down by the convict Abel Magwitch – a scene set on the Hoo Peninsula, the geographical centre of the Thames Gateway.
