“Banner Repeater redefines what galleries can do. Nurturing the quieter parts, the riskier parts, the parts
in-between and what’s missing, it’s not only an art-place, it’s also a conversational and social nerve-centre.”
Heather Phillipson is an artist and poet. Upcoming projects include: the Fourth Plinth, Trafalgar Square 2020

Artsy Editorial
By Laura Purseglove
LP: In your opinion, what makes a gallery successful?
AC: I value experimental spaces that take risks, questioning the relevance and practice of contemporary art, which has a renewed urgency at this point in time. We’re going through some extraordinary changes politically and economically right now, and there’s pity few places left for any kind of experimentation, so art is still of value to us as a way of asking these awkward, pressing questions—questions that undermine our most basic assumptions.
