Arcadia Missa Gallery in London Showcases Emerging Artists with Turner Prize Connections
Founded in 2011 by Rózsa Farkas, Arcadia Missa is located at 35 Duke Street in London and will host exhibitions until 1st May 2024. The gallery showcases the work of 18 artists, including Jesse Darling, the 2023 Turner Prize winner, last year's recipient Nnena Kalu, and finalist Rene Matic. Other notable artists include Morag Keil, Phoebe Collings-James, Penny Goring, Reina Sugihara, and the duo Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings. Originally a non-profit space in a Peckham railway arch, it transitioned to a commercial model in 2014, moved to Soho in 2018, and settled at its current Bond Street-adjacent site in 2021. The gallery focuses on themes of social change, gender politics, and technology, and Paul Carey-Kent highlights it as 'Gallery of the Month' in his FAD column, with earlier columns compiled in 'Paul's Galleries To Go'.
