Rehearsal at the Astoria is British artist Graham Hudson’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. The exhibition features an enormous installation created especially for Arthouse's main 3,200 square foot gallery which aims to collapse time and space and connect London's past with Austin's present through a multi-layered sculptural and musical experience.
The form of the installation references the architecture of London’s iconic Astoria Theatre, which was demolished in 2009. The architectural history of the Astoria parallels that of Arthouse’s building, both of which were once cinemas. First opened in 1929, the Astoria underwent many iterations before becoming one of the most highly-desired music venues in London for both up-and-coming bands and well-established rock 'n roll acts, including U2, Eminem, David Bowie, Radiohead, Black Sabbath and The White Stripes. With his project, Hudson brings the Astoria back to life by reconstructing a portion of it in ghost-like scaffolding, and offering up its stage to musicians to use as a free rehearsal space during its ten-week reincarnation.
