The Final Cut
6–7 December 2025

Our closing party at the space in London took place over a weekend in December, and it took inspiration from Wong Kar-wai’s 1994 film Chungking Express. In the film, every day a man buys a can of sliced pineapple, each expiring on 1 May. He vows that if by that date he still hasn’t heard from the woman he loves, his feelings too will expire. From Wong’s script: “If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries.“

Like the closing credits of a film, The Final Cut invited visitors to linger in an in-between space and celebrate everything that passed through the ancient vaults of our space during the years we were based there.

Our farewell weekend featured a “Drink & Draw” life-drawing workshop led by Maison Pan founder Marie, and a solo presentation of small-scale objects (notebooks, Polaroid photographs etc.) by artist Sara Sahores.

Throughout the rest of our underground vaults, we screened video works by artists from our community:

Chedly Atallah;
Alison Bignon;
Grégoire d’Ablon;
Cyrus Mahboubian;
Yorgos Petrou;
İeva Saudargaitė Douaihi.
