Pi Artworks opens Shoreditch gallery with Mehmet Ali Uysal's 'Skin'
Pi Artworks has moved from Fitzrovia to a more spacious two-story industrial venue at Perseverance Works in East London, launching the site with 'Skin,' a solo show by Parisian artist Mehmet Ali Uysal. The newly designed gallery boasts pitched ceilings, exposed steel beams, and industrial windows, coinciding with London Gallery Weekend. After spending thirteen years at 55 Eastcastle Street, this relocation enhances the gallery's commitment to ambitious installation practices, interdisciplinary projects, and broadened public programming. 'Skin' is featured on the first floor, showcasing new pieces from Uysal's series that explore architecture, perception, and the physical constraints of constructed environments. Uysal's work spans sculpture and site-responsive installations, treating walls, floors, and urban elements as adaptable surfaces.
