Notable exhibitions include Sorrow for A Cipher by Lynette Yiadom-Boakye in 2016,[12][13] Roger Hiorns in 2004[14] and 2015,[15] The Commune Itself Becomes a Super State by Liam Gillick in 2007,[16] Rachel Feinstein in 2007,[17] and Richard Hawkins in 2009.[18]

The gallery currently represents over 30 artists, including Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster,[19] Lynette Yiadom-Boakye,[20] Alvaro Barrington,[21] Jennifer Packer,[22] Brian Calvin[23] and Tomoaki Suzuki.[24][25]
