BOLD TENDENCIES: SCULPTURE PROJECT 4

BOLD TENDENCIES SCULPTURE PROJECT
is an annual exhibition held on the top four floors of the disused car park in Peckham, South London. The exhibition runs from June 30 – September 30, 2010.

BOLD TENDENCIES 4 will present new works by: Rachel Adams, James Balmforth, Nicholas Byrne, Juliana Cerqueira Leite, Matthew Darbyshire, Edward Fornieles, Lauren Gault, Anthea Hamilton, Alex Hoda, Sam Kennedy, George Henry Longly, Mohammed Qasim Ashfaq, Florian Roithmayr, Giles Round and Alexandre Singh.

Last year the project commissioned 14 works by new artists and had over 30,000 visitors in the three months it was open. For this fourth year, the structure of the project has been changed to reflect its position in the public realm and to encourage an ongoing conversation about new sculpture in London. An external council has been created through which individual sculpture projects are recommended, reviewed and commissioned.  

Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar, designed by Lettice Drake and Paloma Gormley and run by Frank Boxer and chef Michael Davies, will return for a second year. The food at Frank's is a reflection of the best available British summer produce - fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, cooked with consideration and presented simply.
