The show comprised of a CD of recordings and photographs by Jeremy Deller, Turner Prize Winner,
A film projected on the windows of the gallery (so it could be seen from the street) by Tim and Barry, i-D photographers and a wall-size print of young boys dancing the 'Crazy Hype' and a film made in London and Texas by Nendie and Nina of Hardcore Is More Than Music. The opening event drew some 300 people, a record for the space. We bused in about 60 young people from Stonebridge and the Cream of the Grime world showed up to pay their respects as well as prominent fine-artists and gallerists.It was truly a coming together of worlds and the party spilled into the streets until the police had to block off the road! One of the highlights of the evening was painter Stanley Spencer's daughter (who I hope she won't mind me saying is 70 or so) hanging out with Roll Deep crew.

W H I T E C H A P E L P R O J E C T S P A C E, BEZERK, HARDCORE IS MORE THAN MUSIC, JEREMY DELLER, TIM & BARRY
Opening Tuesday 8th February 6 -9pm, 12th - 27th February 2005...

Cult magazine HARDCORE IS MORE THAN MUSIC has been described by ex- US President Jimmy Carter as 'an irreverent force in the game of street politics'. For Whitechapel Project Space, editors Nina and Nendie present a film celebrating the interactions and collaborations that make HIMTM so unique. 'BEZERK' brings to life a radical and warm voice in the innercity, of private production and public exhibitionism. Combining the raw energy of the hardcore punk of Neurosis, and cutting edge Garagefrom Wonder, and the social interaction of journalist William Shaw and artist Jeremy Deller, HIMTM advocate a social rebellion through rampant cross-fertilisation.

Alongside 'BEZERK' - a film made by Nina and Nendie over the last two years in America and covering much of the magazine's collaborations with teenagers in London - Whitechapel Project Space will show social and cultural archives collated by Turner Prize winning artist Jeremy Deller, and photographers Tim & Barry. Presented for the first time in the UK, Jeremy Deller's 'This Is Us', constitutes an archive of the musical output of the residents of Redhook, NY USA, and Appenzell, Switzerland. These intimate audio portraits, formulated into familiar compilation CD's, link a pluralism of underground and marginal musical production.

Perhaps the best known photographers of the Underground Garage/ Eski Scene and regular i-D contributors, Tim & Barry have built up a uniquely personal and investigative relationship with the most allusive and progressive artists in London. Their vast photographic archive that charts the rise of an underground movement, gives unrivalled insight into London's music world set to Mixtape 2, a live project featuring artists such as Wonder and D Double E.
