Opened in September [for Open House London 2017] at the Battersea Power Station’ s Village Hall, VIEW exhibited for the first time a broad selection from the Power Station Archive. VIEW was chosen in 2014 to record the entire development of the Power Station site including the new phases of apartment buildings. The brief is primarily to provide a continuing archive of the Gilbert Scott station’s refurbishment.
3 photographers [Anthony Coleman, Dennis Gilbert and Kilian O’Sullivan] have been working together from the start of the project.
The exhibition consisted of 69 images, all reproduced here, 23 for each of the photographers:
