Edel Assanti jobs and careers

About Edel Assanti

Edel Assanti was founded in 2010 by Jeremy Epstein and Charlie Fellowes. Established in London, the gallery works with international artists whose practices engage with the social, cultural or political realities of the moment in which they live. Our programme’s tendency towards interdisciplinary, research-led work demonstrates how artists are uniquely positioned to witness and distill the complex narratives that define our era. Having been located in London’s Fitzrovia since 2014, in 2022 we opened our 4,000 square foot gallery in a renovated listed building on Little Titchfield Street. Our premises play host to a dynamic events programme in parallel to gallery exhibitions: talks, performances, screenings and live music. The gallery’s digital presence encompasses a multi-chapter series of artist video interviews, alongside short films published to accompany exhibitions. Edel Assanti hosts an annual gallery residency, giving overseas colleagues an opportunity to present an exhibition in London. We also produce biannual expansive group presentations addressing subjects of cultural and societal urgency. In 2021 Edel Assanti founded London Gallery Weekend (LGW), an annual celebration of London’s diverse gallery community bringing together 140 contemporary London galleries. Now in its third year, the gallery remains at LGW’s helm. Chief amongst LGW’s initiatives is an ambitious partnership with Art Fund enhancing the relationship between London’s galleries and regional museums across the UK, via a research focus group and a travel bursary scheme for regional curators.
