Eastern Thinking at Andaz

Celebrating the launch of the Andaz hotel Liverpool Street, a fantastic exhibition of contributing artists, designers and illustrators has become a permanent part of the hotel's structure. Bringing to life the vibrant and creative side of the East End of London, Eastern Thinking at Andaz is a collection of quotes inspired by living in the EC and E2 areas of the city.

Relating personal experiences of the the East End, the Andaz has now become a host to these bespoke stories of local culture, community and its surroundings. Designed to be part of the building, some of the quotes are subtle and others more obvious, and to accompany each quote, there is a short film which guests at the hotel can see in their rooms, in the hotel public spaces and online.



With intricate script written on all parts of the hotel, some quotes spiral up the walls requiring opera glasses to read the finals worlds, others are inscribed on frosted glass, and some are delicately placed on the cover of a Gothic looking book. Taking viewers all over the hotel, Eastern Thinking at Andaz covers the vast old building from the reception area on the ground floor all the way up to the ceiling on the third floor at the top. Walk across the mezzanine and the glass bridge, take the lift and make yourself dizzy downstairs as you spin round to read every last word.

Beautifully presented, the emotional impact of the quotes is made more personal by their relation to the area in which they were inspired. Artists as diverse as drag and cabaret performer Jonny Woo,artists and sculptor Peter Newman, furniture and interior designer Barber Osgerby and fashion illustrator Danny Sangra have all contributed to Eastern Thinking at Andaz hotel, creating one enormous piece of contemporary art that celebrates the area and the hotel building itself.

Casually luxurious and innovative, Eastern Thinking at Andaz conveys the principles of the hotel and the sense of location and community ties perfectly. Open to all who wish to visit the hotel, you can contact the hotel on 020 7961 1234 for more information.
