'Nothing is Forever' - it's more of a statement than a title, and a curious one for a group exhibition of wall drawings and paintings that inaugurates a very permanent architectural extension to the South London Gallery. One does not immediately associate this rain-on-your-parade, realist sensibility with unveilings. It does, however, perfectly corral the temporary interventions of a predominantly British bunch of artists and underline the fact that however loved and well-respected the gallery, things had to change for it to become the major art centre it undoubtably now is.
