Galleries on Cork Street

The Galleries on Cork Street joined forces for a group exhibition entitled ‘Fear Gives Wings to Courage’ to celebrate 100 years as a landmark destination for art in London and recognise the galleries as a pioneering force within the art world.

The Brief

Field and Lawn were asked to project manage the installation of bold, artistic flags, creating a visually powerful activation that transformed the Cork Street scene while honouring its rich legacy of modern and contemporary art.

The Solution

The ‘Fear Gives Wings to Courage’ installation was staged across all 15 galleries on Cork Street.

Each flag represented each individual gallery’s response to a central theme conceived by Tarini Malik, curator of modern and contemporary art at the Royal Academy of Arts, London.
The exhibition theme recalled Cork Street’s pioneering role in transforming London into a hub for international art practices in the 20^th century, while also making it one of the key platforms in Europe for the expansion of Surrealist and Dadaist movements.

“It is a huge honour for The Pollen Estate, as the 400 year old custodian of this part of Mayfair, to celebrate a century of artistic endeavour with Cork Street Galleries. The 15 galleries have come together to collaborate in a first-of-its-kind exhibition that honours the legacy of those who paved the way whilst championing the artists who continue to pioneer. This longevity is unrivalled in London and Cork Street Galleries, an initiative of the Pollen Estate, remains a world class destination for artists, galleries and art audiences.”
