1 VENUE HIRE AT THE SOUTH LONDON GALLERY AWARD-WINNING CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE MEETS VICTORIAN ELEGANCE IN THIS GRADE II LISTED GALLERY IN THE HEART OF CAMBERWELL

2 The South London Gallery is a distinctive and elegant setting for a range of private functions, receptions and corporate events. The gallery is one of London s leading venues for contemporary art and live art events, with an innovative education and outreach programme. Often described as a hidden gem, the South London Gallery continues to offer tranquil respite from the hustle and bustle of Peckham Road. Founded in 1891, the gallery s impressive building was constructed from Portland stone and hand-made pressed bricks, much favoured by the Arts and Crafts tradition of the time. Many of the original architectural features remain and these are now complemented by the South London Gallery s award-winning extension, which opened to the public in Designed by 6a architects, the contemporary architecture of the Clore Studio and double height room provide the perfect setting for daytime and evening events. Newly opened this year the gallery has the stunning addition of the Orozco Garden and Fox Reception. This new permanent garden was created over two years by the artist Gabriel Orozco with support from 6a architects and horticulturists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The gallery welcomes over 130,000 visitors each year and is a registered charity. All income generated from venue hire directly supports the SLG s education, outreach and exhibition programmes.

OROZCO GARDEN The South London Gallery s new permanent garden has been created by the artist Gabriel Orozco, with support from 6a architects and horticulturists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

10 OROZCO GARDEN The South London Gallery s new permanent garden has been created by the artist Gabriel Orozco, with support from 6a architects and horticulturists at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Gabriel Orozco, who was born in Mexico and currently lives in Tokyo, is one of the leading artists of his generation. He has exhibited extensively internationally and periodically in London including a major mid-career retrospective at Tate Modern in He has never before designed a garden, but embraced the challenge of transforming a largely inaccessible paved area of land at the back of the SLG s main building into a unique sculptural work as part of his artistic practice. The choice of materials was drawn from the language of the gallery s Victorian building and includes bricks from the newly opened up rear facade. Playing on the idea of an urban ruin, the garden will gradually evolve to become rambling and overgrown with different grasses, low level creepers and fragrant plants. Capacity 120 Standing Dimensions 16.5 x 15.5m
