Exhibition
A New World is an international call for artists exploring a world in transformation and the fragile space between what is disappearing and what is yet to come.

The exhibition considers how art and the role of the artist may evolve in a period of unprecedented cultural and technological change, questioning the systems we inherit, the realities we construct and the futures we choose to imagine.

The physical exhibition will take place in the Tower Bridge district of London, on Tooley Street, close to Tower Bridge, London Bridge, The Shard and the Tower of London.

The exhibition will feature renowned art critic and historian Anthony Fawcett as a special guest. He will attend the exhibition on 9 October and give a speech exploring the ideas and questions behind A New World.

Anthony began his career at Vogue at just eighteen and has since left a remarkable mark on the art world. He brought Man Ray to London in 1969, collaborated with John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Andy Warhol, and Charles Saatchi, and created the Beck’s Art Sponsorship Programme. He’s worked with artists like Francis Bacon, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Tracey Emin, and many others. Today, he continues shaping the art landscape through projects such as the Anthony Fawcett Archive in collaboration with Tate Gallery.

Gallery Space

Our gallery is located in one of the most iconic and visited areas in the world- the Tower Bridge district of London. Situated on Tooley Street, the historic link between London Bridge and Tower Bridge, we are just two minutes from both landmarks, four minutes from The Shard, and six minutes from the Tower of London, home to the Royal Crown Jewels.

With over 5 million people passing through Tooley Street each month, our gallery has become a celebrated destination.

Also- “Our gallery is proud to be one of the 4,000 blue-chip galleries listed on Artsy.”
