Curatorial Architectures:

The Lodge - industrial cottage. 2012- present

The Lodge is a small London residential building in an industrial area with planning use now changed to live-work, a key and under-used planning model. It then becomes the site for an experimental architectural proposal by Gross for shared artist live-work, artist studio and house using an architecture of industrial components.

Enclave is a street of new-build gallery, curatorial HQ and 9 independent project spaces. An architectural infrastructure designed to house activities spanning grass roots actions to professionalised arts programmes, Enclave fills an important gap in the arts infrastructure of the naissant area. Relating to regeneration and ideas of artist urban action the project is entropic in nature and continues in tandem with The Old Police Station nearby. It employs a self-sustaining economic model developed by Gross where it subsidises projects spaces via cheap rents but which funds the infrastructure on-going.

Cartel is a curatorial consortium created by Anthony Gross together with Bea de Souza from The Agency gallery. By inviting curators only, a much higher level of artistic debate was created with challenging exhibitions going far beyound group exhibition models.
