The Toilet Gallery, London, opened on October 9th 2003, in a media frenzy. Brit Art founders, Gilbert & George, cut the toilet paper ribbon to the tumultuous applause of the assembled crowd, press, two film crews and the BBC “live outside broadcast unit”. Reported throughout the world, the Toilet Gallery finds itself represented in all parts of America, Canada, France, Germany and the last two sightings, in Holland and Japan.
The Toilet Gallery’s mission is to provide a free and highly adaptable exhibition space to new graduates and up and coming artists as well as providing the local community with an alternative art space and the opportunity to engage with contemporary art. The gallery also has links with Kingston University, where students from the BTEC Foundation in Art & Design have got involved and collaborated on projects, and where exhibiting artists have lectured.
The gallery provides a free, and highly adaptable space for artists to get the chance to engage with and curate a site-specific exhibition, which is often the first opportunity for many new graduates who show there.
