SPACE demolition
In SPACE at Eldon Building, University of Portsmouth.
The SPACE gallery was host to the international artist Pete Codling who creatied a giant charcoal drawing directly on the gallery wall. The building, currently being demolished in the next 2 weeks along with this final artwork, was actually Codling’s old studio space when he was a student at Portsmouth College of Art in the late 1980s.
This ‘charcoal epitaph’ is a personal way for the artist to say good bye to the building but also to celebrate the creativity of many artists, designers and musicians who have used this space over the last fifty years.
