What it is

Museum tags: Art; Contemporary art

A small not-for-profit art gallery in East London. Found in a former veneer factory, it was founded by artists in the 1980s. It’s one of London’s leading contemporary art spaces, focusing almost entirely on newly commissioned exhibitions – which means artists create work specifically for the gallery’s programme. Many now-internationally known artists had their first major UK solo show there. The gallery’s programme often explores social, political, and cultural themes, with a strong focus on underrepresented voices.
