Since February, artist Louise Ashcroft has been doing an unofficial residency in East London's Westfield Shopping Centre, organised by arebyte gallery.

As part of 'I'd Rather Be Shopping', Louise's residency exhibition at arebyte's Hackney Wick headquarters this August-September, she is offering the public a free Retail Therapy service, during which she will guide individuals (or small groups) through the mall, using its contents as props in a series of conceptual challenges designed to transform the retail environment into a space for creative production, resistance and reflection. Please book individually, but if you would like to you can bring up to two guests.

Meet Louise outside the TK Maxx store on 'The Street' outdoor area next to M&S. Louise will be holding a 'Retail Therapy' sign. Sessions will last up to one hour.
