Cable
Street
Gallery was an artist-run initiative housed in a studio
complex
of over 150 studios in London's East End. The gallery was
established
in 1996 by Anne Rook, Anthony Key, Alana Jelinek, Grace Lodge,
Michael
Cubey and Sharon Byrne. Significantly, many of the artists working
at
Cable Street, including many of the founders of Cable Street
Gallery,
are artists from overseas,living and working in London. When
Saturo
Kato invited artists from Cable Street to particiapte in Between
Borders, it was experiences of migration and cultural negotitaion
that
selected artists were asked to explore in their work for this
project.

Between
Borders included the work of British artists born elsewhere and
working in 1999 at Cable Street Studios, London.
Between Borders was conceieved by the artists and by Saturo Kato
of
Toyota City Cultural Organisation as both an exhibition and an
exchange
between the London-based artists and their Japanese
contemporaries.
Work was produced specifically for exhibition in Toyota City and
at
Honen-in Buddhist Temple in Kyoto and artists traveled to Japan
with
the support of the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation. |

|
Between
Borders
was a cultural exchange concerned by its very nature
with negotiating 'difference', locality and global migration.
Importantly, it recognises the contribution of global cultural
interdependence at the heart of national cultural identity.
