OVERVIEW

'The venue is extraordinary. Who would have thought that across from Madame Tussaud's lay the 14,000 square of an underground hangar, once used to test concrete for Spaghetti Junction and the Channel Tunnel?'

Geoff Brown, The Times 16.04.08

P3 is a 14,000 sqaure foot space for contemporary art and architecture developed from the vast former concrete construction hall at the University of Westminster, which presents a public programme of curated group exhibitions, solo exhibitions, education projects, talks and events in central London. P3 works with a stable of distinctive international artists to suuport the development of their practice critically and in the field of research. Dedicated to innovation, experimentation and learning, P3 operates as a laboratory and meeting place for practitioners, industry and academia, aimed at both specialist and general public enthusiasm for architecture, design, media, fashion and visual and performing arts.

Through the Ambika programme P3 commissions artists and researchers across creative disciplines, particularly those developing large-scale installations and prototyping, where full advantage can be taken of the large and accessible space. The Ambika programme has been generously supported by the Ambika Paul Foundation, and greatly encouraged in its development by the enthusiasm of the Paul family. Proceeds from venue hire are used to support P3's annual programme of academic, public access and curated activities, which also receive financial support from trusts and foundations, individual donors and corporate sponsors.
