We are busy turning The Wild Building, an old metal works situated in Digbeth, Birmingham; into a 10,000 sqft gallery for Line Steppers.
We are installing temporary walls that are being hung from steel girders that form the supporting frame for the large glass roof, in the main space that we have affectionately called the shed.
Check out the picture below, when we first saw this building, we knew that we had to put on a seriously big exhibition here. Although The Wild Building has seen better days, built in 1938 By W J Wild Manufacturers, the space is pretty special.
We’ll keep updating you throughout the build, so keep checking this page for the latest developments.
Are there any limits to Chu’s talent?
Not content with putting on a blinder of a solo show, 51 Degrees, Chu hasn’t just got back to London and rested.
He has created a 360 tour of his exhibition.
We hope to be able to put this up on this website soon, but in the meantime click the image below to see a virtual tour of the Fifty One Degrees solo show by Chu, curated by Jibbering Art, Birmingham April 2009
As part of Fifty One Degrees, Chu has created an 11ft cube in the Wild Warehouse….
This is an ongoing project throughout the exhibition, keep popping down to see the latest perception altering addition….
Fifty One Degrees stays open until 6th May
@ Wild Building, 104 - 108 Floodgate Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 5SJ.
Open: Wed - Sun 11.30 am - 6.30pm
Chu, Energy, Zoot, Newso, Philth & N4T4 all got together on Easter Saturday to take the Rainbow Warehouse boundary wall.
The Adderley Street side of the wall pings at you, it looks like Newso’s fists are smashing section’s of Zoot’s trademark Z and Philth’s figure and starfish intermingle between it all. Energy & Chu took the Lower Trinity Street side of the wall.
Chu’s new sign looks really crisp, loving the fact that he even lined up the lamp post that obstructs the view from over the road!!
Really excited about Chu’s imminent exhibition, 51 Degrees which launches on St Georges Day, 23rd April from 6pm and then runs for two weeks.
Coming soon….

Fifty One Degrees, an exhibition by Chu.
24th April - 6th May 2009
Preview Night: 23rd April from 6pm.
@ Wild Building, 104 - 108 Floodgate Street, Digbeth, Birmingham, B5 5SJ.
Aerosol cans become unstable at 51 degrees, pyramids are built at 51 degrees, secondary rainbows are only visible at 51 degrees, daisies open up to the sun at 51 degrees, and the northern hemisphere begins above the latitude of 51 degrees. If the graffiti tradition of adopting a number after your tag (similar to Taki 183, from 183rd Street, NYC) then the artist Chu’s number is definitely FIFTY ONE.
This new collection charts a journey in the UK from the town of Walsall to the city of Birmingham, along the A34 road, the flagship route for bus number 51. This journey passes Chu’s secondary school, crosses the busiest stretch of motorway in Europe, co-habiting with a plentiful supply of pedestrian walkways and vehicular spine routes through socially disparate areas and estates throughout north Birmingham.
12 new paintings and simultaneous, limited edition, screen print releases will be shown alongside a warehouse space containing an installation created specifically for this comeback show and we can’t wait.
Thursday 9th October saw The Shambala Art Exhibition open in Birmingham and yet again the artists in attendance painted all of the available walls.
