Organisation
In 1992 The Horse Hospital opened as a three tiered alternative arts venue housing The Contemporary Wardrobe Collection on one floor, The Chamber Of Pop Culture on the other; providing an encompassing umbrella for the related media of film, fashion, music and art.
*** The Contemporary Wardrobe Collection
The Contemporary Wardrobe is, to our knowledge, the sole, largest and most important free public access collection of street fashion and culture in Europe, housing over 15,000 important garments and accessories dating from 1945 to the present day, including many unique couture items.
*** The Chamber of Pop Culture
The Chamber of Pop Culture is an independent, non-profit organisation promoting a living and hitherto rarely documented, and even more rarely seen, cutting edge strand of modern art; giving artists the context and support they are denied elsewhere. With over 50 exhibitions in the past 10 years, the artists, musicians and filmmakers who have shown and been shown in The Chamber of Pop Culture share no common aesthetic bond, other than a desire to work and exhibit outside of the practise and theory prevalent in contemporary art dialogue.
*** kinoKULTURE
In 1996, we began kinoKULTURE, London’s only permanent screening club for cult, underground classics, subversive and experimental new works, exclusive premieres, features, documentaries, short films, pop promos, performance footage and more! With a track record pushing five hundred films in five years - juxtaposing the hysterical and the beautiful, the decadent and the minimal - kinoKULTURE is a television station without a TV, dedicated to peeling the boundaries of film presentation.
