Alma Enterprises Gallery is situated on Glasshill Street, Southwark - we moved from our previous space at 1 Vyner Street in May 2009. The space began as an artist and curator run space in 2004 and has since developed into a curatorial project which adhere's to a strict manifesto. We have traditionally worked with artists concerned with notions of performativity and have encouraged a site-specific consideration to the inception of the work shown.

Established and emerging artists will continue to be shown and will add to the impressive roster of past artists such as Brian Catling, Hayley Newman, Michael Curran, William Hunt, Suzanne Treister, William Daniels, Ludo Mich, Jem Finer, Kim Noble, Thomas Altheimer, Gayle Chong Kwan, David Blandy, Laura Parnes, AKA Joey, Fritz Welch, Chris Peck, allsopp&weir, Rod Dickinson, Katie Cuddon, Jennet Thomas and Paul Tarrago.

This new incarnation of Alma Enterprises Gallery has a simple manifesto:

A principal construct of working with individual artists showing singular pieces of work.

The artists that will be shown will be commissioned to develop artwork that instigates a direct involvement with the space. As well as giving exposure to the artists selected the objective of the space is for them to be a reflection of this manifesto that seeks to be a statement of intent through a single piece of work.

A statement of intent that rejects pandering to a buying market and retains our original aim of encouraging the artists to show work that exists solely as an inhabitation of sheer monumental artistic authority.

This will of course extend to performances; having dealt with large-scale performance surveys in the past a few specific performances will be commissioned each year, which will incorporate the space both inside and outside.
