temporarycontemporary was a project run by Anthony Gross and Jen Wu between 2004 and 2009. It was started as a project space and studios in Deptford, South East London. Exploring the intersections of contemporary art and social production, the gallery hosted over 20 exhibitions, presenting the work of over 450 artists in just over two years of intense activity on its Deptford premises. Coinciding with the building’s demolition, it had evolved into a nomadic fiction–an occasional curatorial entity producing off-site exhibitions and actions with gallery exhibitions replaced by activities like poker-games-as-group-shows, video events in pubs and Tate Modern, occasional art fairs, roving exhibitions in China, momentarily resurrecting in 2008 as a temporary occupation in London’s Royal Academy of Arts.
