Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host OOF magazine's art exhibition 'balls'.
SHARE:
An art gallery is opening inside the walls of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. OOF, a magazine that mixes sport with art, is launching the gallery on July 23.
The publishers behind OOF have been organising exhibitions for the past three years.
The gallery will occupy the Grade II listed Warmington House which is located within the stadium’s walls.
The public will access the gallery through the club shop, which gets 20,000 visitors every match day.
Eddie Frankel, the chief art critic for Time Out and OOF co-founder, is excited to bring the art to a new audience.
“We’re not curating shows for art snobs. We’re curating specifically for people who would not normally go to a gallery.
“I liked the idea of people walking to the match and going past art, like a window gallery”.
The first show will be titled Balls and will feature sculptures of footballs.
Who’s featured?
The exhibition brings together older pieces by names such as Hank Willis Thomas, Marcus Harvey, and Sarah Lucas, who created a number of works including a concrete ball for a show dedicated to the former Arsenal star Charlie George in 2002.
It will also feature new commissions by artists including Lindsey Mendick and Rosie Gibbens. Some of the work is being loaned, but the majority will be for sale.
Prices will range from £2,500 to £50,000.
