Bosse & Baum

Bosse & Baum promotes an open-range of developments in the arts, curating site-specific exhibitions, supporting emergent practitioners, with a focus on audience development. The gallery has a strong focus on performative art practices, with an active events programme accompanying exhibitions, bringing current discourses to the attention of existing and new audiences, both in the local community and internationally. A team of two, Lana Churchill and Alexandra Warder, are steering the gallery to be a open, accessible, testing ground, and solid foundation, for artists and audience, encouraging active viewing, conversation, whilst supporting the growth of their artists beyond the gallery space, into both private and institutional collections. The gallery operates within the public and private spheres, open to new combinations, to move forward in the current cultural and economic conditions. The current gallery space is based in Peckham, London, where the permanent gallery was founded in 2014. The gallery’s main exhibition and events programme is accompanied by a non-profit and Arts Council England supported project called Micro Social Cultures, which started in early 2018. Micro Social Cultures is an active shared space for research, thinking & discussion and for exchanging ideas and knowledge catalysed by contemporary art practice. This will result in an online library, commissioned essays & open source information. The annual programme is structured in 4 episodes, each episode centered around an artist-developed workshop. This year’s programme has been selected by Jamie Sutcliffe. The invited artists for 2018 will be: Hardeep Pandhal, Anna Zett, Claire Potter and Kamile Ofoeme.
