Whiplash Memorial (WIP)

This was a solo exhibtion

Snaking through this work-in-progress exhibition of Whiplash Memorial – and North Kensington where Max Ferguson grew up – is the Westway. This section of the A40 is a memorial to a failed modernist experiment to ring central London in raised concrete flyovers. Entire streets were demolished to make way for it, and as part of the regeneration of the empty land around it, social housing, including Grenfell Tower, was built. Whiplash Memorial weaves together personal and collective histories by combining two decades of photographs and texts by Max with found and archive materials. It is a cryptic love letter to the Westway and the community beneath it.
