ART GALLERYThe Square is also home to the Square Gallery. The two floors of the club are permanent exhibition spaces that have played host to work by over fifty artists since 2007.
The centerpiece of the ground floor is a surprisingly large and subtle video installation. The installation is the work of London video art gallery, Open. Open specialise in large scale projected video and represent a group of artists who have been pioneering a new medium since 2001 which is beginning to revolutionise moving imagery - the video painting. These artists have recently exhibited video paintings at the Hayward, the ICA, Sketch Gallery, Shunt Vaults and the Institute of Art and Ideas. The Square has invited Open to curate an ongoing programme of video exhibitions in Bristol which includes a second installation in the basement space.
In addition to these installations the Square Gallery presents four exhibitions each year of new work across a variety of media. The opening of each exhibition is marked by an evening private view, which offers art lovers across Bristol the chance to come and enjoy the Square experience and meet the artists whose work makes the space so special.
