London

PEER is a neighbourhood space for art and culture. Over the past twenty-three years we have evolved from the ground up, and are now deeply embedded in the socially, culturally, and economically diverse area of Hoxton, East London. Located in a converted shopfront in Arden Estate on Hoxton Street, our street facing gallery hosts a programme of new commissions by artists presented as solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, research projects and events. PEER overlooks and maintains Khadija’s Garden and Chris Ofili’s Black Hands pedestal clock. To support and encourage dialogue between visitors, artists and their work, a programme of event-based activity takes place throughout each exhibition, including talks, performances and workshops. Central to all our activities is PEER Ambassadors, a two-part programme for people aged 17 – 25 that offers paid work-experience at PEER, alongside a free, collaborative, and creative programme working closely with an artist on a new public art commission as part of PEER Notices. PEER provides an experimental space for artists to explore new directions in their work. Previous and recent artist commissions include, Mike Nelson, Bob & Roberta Smith, Danh Vō, Fiona Banner, Jonathan Baldock & Emma Hart, Jimmy Robert, Jadé Fadojutimi and Lubna Chowdhary, among others. We programme sustainable co-commissions with national and international partners, as well as collaborate with residents, community organisers, educators, schools, libraries and charities. Recent partnerships include, Hoxton Trust, Hackney Circle, Shoreditch Library and Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.
