Welcome to Optical Radio Gallery
Optical Radio arcade has been set up by a group of artists involved in the project. The Gallery has been designed through the parallel between drawing and photography. It features photographs, drafts, paintings, and street art.

Artist: Anthony Gross
Anthony Gross (b Greenwich, London 1968). Lived Brussels 1979 to 1986. European Baccalaureate. Returned to England to study Architecture at The Bartlett (under Peter Cook). Guest student at Karlsruhe art academy (under Michael Sandle). Worked in Architecture (under Renzo Piano, Genoa). Studied MA Fine Art Goldsmiths College. Extended visits to Los Angeles and China. Curatorial projects as 'temporarycontemporary' with Jen Wu. 'Temporarycontemporary studios' launched 2007. Currently based in London.Using digital media Gross creates images and animations that sit within imagined architectural meta-structures. Sometimes this results in physical structures such as Sculpture Unit at the V&A or LED Eyes on The Royal Academy portico, but mostly as site-specific animation installations such as Object Passing at The Economist and Digital Forest at Piccadilly Tube Station. Currently he runs the Old Police Station an artist-run do-it-yourself art center based in New Cross, London.

Anthony Gross: Columbo Eats Columbo
Old Police Station, 114 Amersham Vale, SE14, Film screening in the Old Police Gym.
Digital artist Anthony Gross returns to art-making after a stint as a curator. He calls in the detective to piece together the fragments of his art practice. Filmed on location at The Old Police Station and other environments designed by Gross, the film follows an actor playing Columbo as he solves ‘the crime’, the distance between the real and the imaginary.
This is a major new work by Gross, and the first in a series combining live-action and computer-modelled scenes. With art objects, a Columbo-esque car and dog lent by fellow artists, and a sound track by Gross of film sound effects, the work investigates mechanisms of popular culture and the role of art in our everyday experience.
