Activities

We are thrilled to have been invited to the Gilbert & George Centre. Celebrating a year since opening, the second exhibition takes place: London Pictures. The entire group of London Pictures were last on view in 2012 in different cities around the world. Now we have the opportunity to see them gathered in the G&G Centre.

London Pictures offers both a directory of urban human behaviour and a moral portrait of our times. Brutal and declamatory, these brooding and disquieting pictures have been created from the sorting and classification by subject of almost 4000 newspaper posters, stolen by Gilbert & George over a number of years. The London Pictures seem to comprise a great visual novel, revealing the ceaseless relay of urban drama, in all its graduations of hope and suffering.

The world renowned artist Gilbert & George have established the Centre, just a stone’s throw away from their house, as a gift to the community of London and underscores the artist’s intention of creating ” Art for All”. It is a special place where the collections, archives and works of art created by them are preserved.

Since the Centre has only been around for a year, we are excited that we can visit this and all the art work. Please join us for a private tour on Thursday 12 September at 2.30 pm.
