Calvert 22
'Calvert 22 is the UK’s only not for profit foundation focused on contemporary art from Russia and Eastern Europe. Free to develop independently, outside commercial gallery constraints, its mission is to present the very best in current art and culture from the former "Eastern Bloc" as well as promote discussion and dialogue which aims to re-think and interrogate existing preconceptions about the art and culture of those regions. Through a carefully designed and contextualised programme, Calvert 22 offers opportunities to explore hidden relationships and dynamics, often not visible on the surface and especially not represented by the mass media, so as to propose new possibilities for cultural understanding and exchange.
'Calvert 22 was launched in May 2009 and already represents a significant new presence in the international contemporary art world having achieved widespread critical acclaim for the quality and range of its programme. Importantly, it has being recognised for its potential to lead the way in cultural development, not least by leading figures within the Russian Government.
'Calvert 22 was founded by Nonna Materkova, a St Petersburg born financier who first came to the UK on a British Council Scholarship to study economics at the London School of Economics. She has been based in London since the late 1990s. She is the founder director of Roslink, a London based Corporate finance consultancy and a patron of contemporary arts.
'Entrance to the Gallery is Free.'
