White Cube Bermondsey street
Since 12 October 2011, Jay Jopling's White Cube Gallery, deservedly considered one of the most prestigious and influential private art institutions in London, is boasting a new exhibition space in the southern part of the British capital. The third - and largest - subsidiary of the White Cube covers an area of 5440 square metres and is housed in a converted 1970s warehouse building. It currently comprises two exhibition space complexes: the South Galleries hosting the most significant of exhibitions, and the North Galleries which consist of three separate small exhibition halls; an art storage space; private viewing rooms; an auditorium for talks, performances and film screenings, as well as a bookstore. Open through 27 November, the White Cube South Galleries present the Structure & Absence exhibition, a show aiming to take a fresh look at the presence of abstraction in the contemporary art scene. The list of featured artists includes Hiroshi Sugimoto, Jeff Wall, Gabriel Orozco, Damien Hirst, Andreas Gursky, et al.
The North Galleries present three artists who have not previously shown at White Cube (the gallery plans to continue using these premises as a platform for 'newcomers', hosting exhibitions as part of the Inside the White Cube project). Two of them currently live and work in Berlin: the Romanian-born Marieta Chirulescu (1972) and Kitty Kraus (1976); the American artist Mary Corse (1948) hails from New York.
The visual image of the new White Cube was designed by the London and Berlin-based Casper Mueller Kneer Architects; it is described as reminiscent of the 'something-something' research centres sometimes featured in the movies.
