Man&Eve is a contemporary fine art gallery and curatorial agency. We produce exhibitions in interesting and unusual contexts and provide strategic and practical support to clients who want to develop critically-engaged and successful exhibition programmes and collections. Man&Eve holds an inventory of works for sale or exhibition by many of the artists we have previously worked with, and by artists with whom we continue to collaborate and represent. We participate regularly in international art fairs including, to date, in Basel, Miami, New York, Chicago, London, Hong Kong and Beijing.

Man&Eve opened in May 2006 according to a ‘traditional’ gallery model, hosting up to 8 exhibitions a year and producing an eclectic schedule of screenings, artists’ talks, discussions and publications to complement the exhibition programme.

Between May 2006 – January 2010, Man&Eve was located in a Grade II listed Georgian town house in Kennington, London. In May 2010, the exhibition programme moved temporarily to a former sea-cadet training centre on the Duchy of Cornwall Estate in Kennington. Man&Eve transformed 8a Courtenay Street into a new project space, which included studio space for artists. Man&Eve has subsequently concentrated on producing a series of off-site exhibitions.

In 2012, the exhibition programme will resume residency in a refurbished exhibition space within the original Georgian town-house in Kennington, with off-site projects continuing along side the core gallery programme. Man&Eve will develop a more ‘project-based’ approach as we experiment with what it means to be a gallery and as we seek out new contexts in which to present artists’ work.
