Mobirise

turntable gallery is a newly established, contemporary art space, in the heart of Grimsby, North East Lincolnshire. Founded and directed by two internationally renowned artists - Dale Wells and Darren Neave (RCA), who met whilst studying at the University of Lincoln.

Our high street gallery space is kindly being supported by Skippko, an arts organisation based in Holbeck, Leeds.

Grim and Havelock - The Wake
Heritage Project, The Equality Practice & turntable gallery
20 May - 10 June 2023

Grim and Havelock: The Wake represents the culmination of many years of research and debate, regarding not just the legend but the heritage of our great town.

The show aims to display the statue of Grim and Havelock by the late Douglas Wain-Hobson in its ultimate state of disrepair. Visitors can share their thoughts and memories of this iconic local sculpture and join us to celebrate the work’s former life. In doing so we hope that you will become part of the statues history and legacy, and make the future resurrection of the piece possible.

The exhibition presents classical recounts of the legend and weaves them with a contemporary timeline of how the sculpture has earned its place in the history of our town.

Darren and Dale share their own recollections and research around the significance of the sculpture and invite you all to share your stories, in a brand new show, which immerses the visitor in the sights, scents and stories of The Wake.

Jeremy Deller
1 - 29 April 2023

turntable gallery is delighted to present a collection of works by acclaimed British artist, Jeremy Deller.

With themes ranging from political discord to the artistic ego, Deller traces this broad interests in art and culture, in part, to childhood visits to museums and galleries. After meeting Andy Warhol in 1986, Deller spent two weeks at The Factory in New York. He began making serious work in the early 1990s, often showing them outside of conventional galleries. In 1993, while his parents were on holiday, he secretly used the family home for an exhibition titled ‘Open Bedroom’.

Amongst his many accolades, Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004 with ‘Memory Bucket’, and represented Britain in the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. Over the past three decades he has become a guiding force in contemporary art. Much of his work ephemeral in nature, incorporating video, installation and live events including campaigning and protest, and as such avoids commodification.

The Entertainment of Cats
Peter Forster
25 February - 25 March 2023

turntable gallery is delighted to present work by Peter Forster (1934 -2021), one of the country’s preeminent wood engravers of the late 20th century.
Following National Service, Peter pursued a career as a freelance illustrator before taking employment in the Department of the Environment’s graphic design studio. Assigned the task of designing guide books, he felt 'he'd sold his soul' and left in 1985 to continue his life’s work as a wood engraver and printer.

The print, Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense, (1988) was acquired by the V&A for their permanent collection, and was originally commissioned for Square Peg, a gay arts magazine. Peter had a gift for smuggling the seditious into the most austere of surroundings, with scintillating caricature and parody.
