The Pump House is a public contemporary visual arts space on the lakeside in Battersea Park, South London. It is the highest profile public visual arts space in Wandsworth, attracting over 30,000 visitors. In the past few years the gallery has been recognised, both nationally and increasingly internationally, as a centre of excellence in the provision of contemporary visual art.
The gallery incorporates four floors of exhibition space with stunning views overlooking the 200-acre park and the unusual architecture of the building makes it a unique, ‘one of a kind’ exhibition space in London, if not in the UK.

Beauty is the First Test
12 September – 25 November 2012
Artists: Michael Brennand-Wood, Suresh Dutt, Janice Gunner, Lesley Halliwell, Lucy McMullen, Janette Matthews, Peter Randall Page, Ann Sutton, Laura Thomas
A group exhibition exploring how mathematical concepts underpin craft techniques and artistic development, in an attempt to demystify a subject that intimidates both adults and children, by showing unique and stimulating works of art. ‘Beauty is the First Test’ will draw together existing and new artworks to invite in-depth consideration of contemporary craft practice in this wider context. Beauty and playfulness will be evident in the exhibits to illustrate what delights craftspeople and maths geeks alike.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a full programme of events for young and old alike.
This exhibition is curated by Liz Cooper and has been supported by Arts Council England, and developed in partnership with Crafts Council, Wandsworth Children’s Services and The National Centre for Craft & Design.
