For the purpose of incentivising alternative modes of exhibiting, I have gathered a small (and completely non-representative) list of different organisations and spaces in London that are doing similar things:

 

Zero Corners supports international artists with a research-based practice. It is a creative muscle, breaking and building itself through collaborative exchange. The independent nomadic art space facilitates exhibitions, workshops, and lectures in all corners of the world. It was founded by American artist and curator, Ashley Middleton.

 

Shipment is a new, moving, artist-led gallery that occupies a trail of liminal locations to present site-specific, creative projects. Its main goals are to create irreproducible audience experiences and to develop its participants. Shipment produces projects made by people with boundary-pushing ideas who work in contemporary art, performance, writing, design and technology.
 

The London Arts Board is a dis-used municipal notice board on the corner of Peckham Road and Vestry Road, Camberwell. It is now a gallery dedicated to giving emerging artists the chance to have a solo exhibition in London.

¨I can ask an artist anywhere in the world to send me a high-resolution image of their work, I print it out, paste it up on the Board and promote it as you would any other exhibition.¨ - Liberty Rowley
 

Soft Opening has developed a program of exhibitions that each respond idiosyncratically - often in both content and display - to the gallery’s unique location in Piccadilly Circus Underground Station. Functioning essentially as a window display, Soft Opening offers artists a space in a neighbourhood associated with tourism, consumerism and commerce, where their work can engage with, situate itself within and confront this context from a self-aware and critical perspective.

 

The Rectory Projects in Poplar, East London, is run by artists Sammy Sinibaldi, Emma Sheehy, Louise Hildreth and James Randell. It is a not-for-profit space set in a Georgian oasis in the shadow of Canary Wharf. They have been running a series of two-person shows, group critiques, sales and events since late 2016.

 

Picnic is a contemporary art space, occupying a long window in the Aylesham Centre in Peckham, South London. It offers artists a unique space and opportunity to develop works in relation to a wider public audience.

 

Take Courage Gallery is an arts platform based in New Cross that puts on regular exhibitions and acts as a support structure for early career artists. The gallery is building a series of events, shows and seminars for artists who are at the early to mid level of their practice, in association with Exchange Project. Curator Joshua Freddie Vaughan has recently taken over management of Take Courage, and works with both local and international artists, exploring notions such as novelty, craft, and inter-disciplinary arts practices.

 

isthisit? is a platform for contemporary art. Online, it operates as a gallery producing monthly exhibitions showcasing emerging to mid-career artists, hosting a roster of guest curators experimenting with the medium of the internet. The website also hosts monthly residencies, where artists are given a web page to create new work that exists on the internet as a piece of net art. Offline, it has held exhibitions nationally and internationally and is the publisher of isthisit?, a book series released on a tri-annual basis.
