It seemed like 218 people turned up to the launch of 218 Gherkins last night at the gallery. The curator, Tee Dobinson, really succeeded in simply hanging the images of the Gherkin by children from William Davis Primary Schhol off Brick Lane. The overall result was kind of graphic and well, quite beautiful actually.

The point of it all? To promote a cookbook for the NSPCC/ ChildLine that Swiss Re have put together as part of their activities to support the charity.

And why not do something that has given such pleasure to all involved - especially the children who will get to see their work up on the walls? It’s time to be less cynical Shoreditch. Pop into the gallery on Saturday, draw your own Gherkin and smile.

The show is only open on Friday and Saturday. Click here for details.
