Under the Bloomberg Building on Walbrook in the city of London is the London Mithraeum, the Roman Temple of Mithras. Originally uncovered in 1954 and dating from the 4th Century AD it was moved to an open air site in Temple Court because of building work and to 'preserve it.' However, when Bloomberg bought the original site for their London HQ they had it moved back and restored properly. The finished result is quite a stunning piece of archaeological theatre in the basement of Bloombergs HQ. (I mean, who doesn't want a Roman Temple in their basement?) It has its own entrance and mini museum and every 15 mins or so a light show takes you through the history of it. Its well worth a visit.

Micronesian, islander worldviews differ, in degree, although not in kind, from western logic; scientific; and also, religious perspectives. They offer provocative alternative ways of thinking about the world and our place in it - Conceptual Outlines of Correlative Nondual, Dual, and Monist Philosophies.
As cultural misunderstanding is often due to people’s inability to navigate between correlative nondual worldviews and ways of knowing, versus modern logic and scientific thinking. Logic, as a branch of Philosophy, studies the processes of reasoning; that is, the means by which evidence is used to make claims or draw conclusions. Academic logicians emphasize that statements are either true or false. A statement’s truth-value is founded on three principles of logical reasoning, namely: identity (true is true), the excluded middle (true or false), and noncontradiction (not, both true and false). In academic and scientific thinking, the contextual situation and the subjects’ experiences are important only to the extent that they impact, influence, and effect how a person determines the truth-value of the premises and conclusion of an argument. The enigma of the external world is never fully decoded by linguistic expressions. In Pacific correlative thinking, knowledge based on statements is only a minor part of a complex truth-reality perspective that must be manifested in the way the knower exhibits and lives, the aesthetic, moral, and intellectual virtues in everyday life. The community of knowers maintain the knowledge base in the cultural practices and beliefs, such as their rituals and moral practices of prohibition, beliefs regarding the interplay between cosmic-order and social-order, and their ontological worldview impacting beliefs in the sky-world, afterlife, spirit-body relation, how their cosmology influences navigation, and so on

David Jablonowski artistically examines the surface and the evolution of contemporary communication technologies in sculptures, videos, and installations.
He is acclaimed for the ingenious way in which he plays with a wide range of materials. Jablonowski creates exciting contrasts by locating high tech elements in a natural environment. His artistic interest is in the sculptural quality of communication techniques, as well as the specific aesthetics of different historical media formats, which make a long-term impact on perception and cultural self conception.
In the Plexiglas sculpture ‘Prediction Tower, Hype Cycle’ the artist incorporated different digital information sources and their hyperlink associations, showing their stratification, their interconnectedness, yet at the same time criticizing by showing the complexity of a possible transparency. The work forms a literal transparent display of information, a physical market place of information, in which the ephemeral and quick information-flows assumes a concrete form and question the monumental status of markets.
David Jablonowski attended the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and participated in De Ateliers studio program and the International Studio & Curatorial Program in New York. He won the Charlotte Kӧhler Prize 2013 awarded by the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund. Recent solo exhibitions include Westfalischer Kunstverein Munster, Galerie Fons Welters, Bloombergspace London, Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam, De Paviljoens, Kunsthalle Basel and Gallery Luettgenmeijer.
London Mithraeum Bloomberg SPACE hosted a morning family event for Clients. We welcomed a total of 56 guests, including 33 children and 11 clients, from firms such as Barclays, JP Morgan, Citi, Sumitomo Mitsui and BNY Mellon.
Located in the heart of the City, found on the banks of the long lost river Walbrook, a Roman temple to Mithras. Built in 240AD and used for 80 years it was lost to history until the 1950's and when Bloomberg built their headquarters here it was re-excavated (60-70,000 artefacts found) and reinstated as near to the original site as possible. Free and well worth seeing it was open on Christmas Eve.
