Eye Magazine

At the end of 2014, McCallum and Churchill were obliged to leave their old place and they launched a #SaveKemistry Kickstarter (and raised a matching Arts Council grant) to help the gallery find a new, permanent home.

Kemistry’s current pop-up exhibition ‘100 Years of Graphic Design’ at Protein Studios is part of their ongoing fund-raising campaign, and a chance to look back at the gallery’s ‘greatest hits’. A series of three, sold-out talks in the gallery (including one about Robert Green’s rediscovery of the Doves Type chaired by Eye editor John L. Walters) attracted enthusiastic responses.

The show, which closes on Sunday 15 March 2015, includes works by Alan Fletcher, Hans Hillman, Ken Garland, Lou Dorfsman, Seymour Chwast and Milton Glaser, Saul Bass, Anthony Burrill, James Joyce, Jean Jullien, Geoff McFetridge, Parra, Rob Lowe, Ryan Todd, Stefan Glerum, Zero Per Zero, Experimental Jetset and Geneviève Gauckler as well as posters for OSPAAL and 1960s Polish cinema.

A book and poster are for sale at the exhibition in aid of Kemistry’s campaign for a permanent home in which to display design and graphic art.

Final opening times are: today until 6pm.
Saturday, 10am-5pm
Sunday, 10am-5pm
at Protein Studios, 31 New Inn Yard, London EC2A 3EY, UK.
