Smaller than a small

2008-09-17T12:32:00.003+01:00

We recently avoided a court hearing with w+k who had claimed to have the smallest gallery in London. Here is what transpired:

Hello W+K.

We are concerned that you may be incorrectly claiming your L Gallery as "London's smallest". We believe that our Creative Cupboard my well be smaller. In fact, we're so proud of it's tiny dimensions that we ran an ad in Campaign about it (see http://agencyrepublic.net/campaign_republic_ad.png). Our miniscule gallery is 50 cm deep, 44cm wide and 160 cm high, resulting in a total volume of 352,000 cm3. How does yours measure up? We'd love to confirm that we're more wee ;)

Love from

Us at Agency Republic

To which their reply was:

Volume of the L Gallery turns out to be 435,000cm3. Damn. Agency Republic's is definitely more wee.

We may have to put a gallery in a matchbox.

So it was all sorted in the end.
Creative Cupboard is the smallest gallery in London. It's official.

The Creative Cupboard

2008-01-02T18:26:00.000Z

The Creative Cupboard is an ongoing Arts project, based at 'Agency Republic,' Battersea Bridge, London. This Blog will document the Creative Cupboard's exhibitions and instillations and will create a platform for discussion on the exhibiting artists and their work. The Creative Cupboard will try to blur the boundaries between art, illustration design and performance pieces, whilst proving that a small space can be as innovative and tactile as a large gallery. The Creative Cupboard is not just limited to personal work or artistic endeavors by those at 'Agency Republic,' but is also a serious space for commercial artists and creatives. Welcome to the creative cupboard.

The Curator.
