In 2006 Limbo founder Paul Hazelton found and bought Andy Warhol’s old Philco Predicta television set in a Margate second-hand shop called Style Counsel. A few months later Style Counsel closed following a burglary.
In October 2008, Limbo worked with Kate Jackson of Style Counsel to present Andy Warhol’s TV, an art show that looked at Margate’s relationship with culture at a time when the town hopes that cultural improvements – led by the Turner Contemporary arts development – will help to reverse economic and social deprivation in the area.
There was no artwork in the show, in which Margate’s Substation Project space was partially reconstructed as a hybrid of Style Counsel and a museum or gallery. Instead, second-hand objects were on display– some as they would have been in Style Counsel, others as objects might be presented in a museum or gallery. The television, which is no longer working, occuped an area behind this hybrid space, and was temporarily re-animated by a projection of an episode of Andy Warhol’s TV, the artist’s cable television show from the 1980s.
