City Racing

City Racing was a squatted artist-run space in Oval Mansions, Kennington, South London which was active between 1988 and 1998.

It was a cooperative by five artists Matt Hale, Paul Noble, John Burgess, Keith Coventry and Peter Owen.

[1] City Racing became an important and renowned exhibition space; its openings provided a networking opportunity for many artists.

David Burrows wrote that "in one sense, City Racing refused to be marginalised from the mainstream and had conventional career aspirations.

"[2] A retrospective book was published by Black Dog, called City Racing, The Life and Times of an artist Run Gallery.
