Cosmic Mega Brain is integrated with Transit Space.
Our venue, a 5 floor 20.000 square vacant warehouse in the heart of east London, will be a venue for London Fashion Week in September 2008, as it was in previous editions.

The space is being put to profitable use as a venue for various events in the interim period between it’s recent purchase by property developers until structural surveys finish and development begins; this leaves a window of at least several months.

This building was utilised by BANK, an artists’ group active in London during the 1990s. Their most significant contribution to UK contemporary art was a series of curated group shows, often with comical, and sometimes offensive, titles. As a group they adopted an aggressive stance towards the mainstream contemporary art scene of the time.
This collective was a major force in the emergence of the YBA movement, and included Turner Prize nominees and winners.
