Emmanuel Perrotin famously founded his original Paris gallery in 1990 at the age of just twenty-one
London’s gallery scene is varied, from small artist-run spaces to major institutions and everything in between. Each week, art writer and curator Paul Carey-Kent gives a personal view of a space worth visiting
Writer and curator Paul Carey-Kent collects various writings here, including his Gallery of the Week column for FAD art news and texts from the shows he has curated. He currently writes freelance including for Art Monthly, Seisma, STATE, Border Crossings and World of Interiors. See Instagram for his daily choice from current shows. Some non-art content, such as photo-poems, is also included.
