Raven Row is a contemporary art foundation that opened recently in Spitalfields. Designed by 6a Architects it’s embedded in two 18th century silk mercers’ houses and a 1972 office building. 6a’s beautiful design manages effortlessly to make the different periods of the building talk to each other. We’re particularly fond of their raw sand-cast bronze door knobs which are indented with a thumb print. And the art’s great too. The inaugural exhibition is of work by Ray Johnson (1927-95). Must see.
