198 Contemporary Arts and Learning

Contemporary Arts and Learning

HOME

198 is a pre-eminent cultural space in Brixton, which explores the rich diversity of artistic practices informed by globalisation and emerging cultural identities.

We foster creative synergies through a challenging artistic and education programme, which explores economic and social change; and their effects on visual culture.

Our artistic programme provides a platform for emerging artists and contributes to contemporary discourse on issues inherent to their work.

Our engaging, inspiring and accessible programme encourages and uses the interaction between diverse cultures, generations and social backgrounds as a catalyst for the creative process.

Brixton Calling!

Revisiting the Brixton Art Gallery 1983-1986 28th October- 21st December 2011

Connecting contemporary Brixton to its past - through the history of the late Brixton Art Gallery & Artists Collective in the 1980s. The exhibition is a collaboration between
198 Contemporary Arts & Learning and Brixton Artists Collective Archives (BACA). Ephemera and records gathered during the project will be passed to Tate, Women's Art Library, Goldsmiths Library; Lambeth Archives, and Hall Carpenter Archive (LSE).

BACA is constituted of 5 individual members of the Brixton Artists Collective: Teri Bullen, Guy Burch, Françoise Dupré, Rita Keegan, Stefan Szczelkun. They were part of a significant group of artists: The Brixton Artists Collective and were instrumental in the foundation, development and running of the Brixton Art Gallery 1983-86.
