Description
Summary:Under Refurbishment Magaluf is a new artist-run project space located in a former retail unit in a rundown shopping mall, named after the notorious Mallorcan holiday destination. The annual summer news cycle is always dominated by holidaying Brits engaging in debauchery, with abundant public sex, fights and (not infrequently fatal) attempts to jump from balconies into swimming pools, which happen so regularly that the verb 'balconing' has been coined to describe them. [...]a number of initiatives have been rolled out, including curbs on nightlife.
