The
Prenelle Gallery is a new contemporary art gallery
that opened in March 2002. The gallery is housed in a 130ft Dutch
Barge, which was built in 1931, carrying sand and gravel along the
European waterways until two years ago when the conversion commenced
in Holland.
The gallery
is the only floating contemporary art gallery in London. It possesses
unusual qualities in light, ambient sound and movement. Although
moored most of the time, its ability to sail through the city creates
a dramatic and uniquely changing relationship with its environment.
The main internal gallery space occupies 1400 sq ft of the converted
cargo hold. Our external sculpture deck offers one of the largest
and most visible venues for sculpture, installation and public art
in London, outside the main public galleries.
The gallery
shows; painting, sculpture, installation, video and photography.
We aim to create a dynamic centre for the arts in Canary Wharf.
The gallery
presents an exciting program of 6-8 week exhibitions showing work
by both emerging and established artists.
All the work
shown in the gallery is for sale. |
