1 Poultry, City of London,3 x free exhibition spaces

About the Open Call

We are looking for artists & curators for our brand new gallery hub in the City of London, launching Frieze Week 2025. This is a unique opportunity to organise an exhibition in one of the world’s most important postmodern buildings, designed by architect James Stirling & completed in 1997. Gallery 1 & 3 are rotating contemporary curated exhibition spaces. Gallery 2 is offered in collaboration with art/architecture publication recessed.space & we are looking for architects or artists to propose projects that speak to the built environment or perhaps the history of No. 1 Poultry itself. Measurements: Gallery 1: 330 sqm/ 3500 sqft, Gallery 2: 130 sqm/ 1400 sqft, Gallery 3: 150 sqm/ 1600 sqft. The units will be presented to look more like conventional galleries, with walls painted white & window vinyl removed.
