This amazing gallery sprawls an entire floor of the Desmond Building (c 1927). The art is all modern-edged, including minimalist canvases, strobing video installations, plexiglass orbs and rusted coils of steel. Over they years it's exhibited pretty much every big name, and the current exhibits from a worldwide stable of artists change between weekly and six monthly.
