Banner Repeater

Banner Repeater is an artist run reading room and project space, on Hackney Downs railway station, Dalston Lane, London. It is named after the "banner repeater", a type of railway signal used in Great Britain. The reading room holds a collection of artist's books and other printed material, for both browsing and purchase. The permanent collection is home to Publish And Be Damned's public library. The project space arts programme, of exhibitions, events and performance, publishes pamphlets and posters, which are free to take away from the library trolley on the platform, and when closed from a box outside the reading room. The project is driven by its location within a working station environment, developing critical art in the public realm, in the natural interstice the platform and incidental footfall of over 4,000 passengers a day provides. Banner Repeater is open from 8 to 11 am Tuesday to Thursday, to target the early morning commuters, as well as more usual gallery hours of 8 am to 6 pm on Friday and noon to 6 pm over the weekend.The project was supported for the first year by an Empty Shop Fund grant from the local government initiative, Art in Empty Spaces 2010, and an Arts Council England grant for the arts programme 2010-11. Banner Repeater is one of a series of projects supported by Hackney Council intended to bring empty shops and premises back to life. The projects are financed by central government funding awarded to the Council for the first year, and are to provide activities that will benefit Hackney's residents and visitors.
