IMTwentyOne marks IMT Gallery’s 21st anniversary with a benefit exhibition and online auction, bringing together over 100 unique works by emerging to established artists such as Amanda Beech, Adam Chodzko, Benedict Drew, Soyoung Hyun, Melanie Jackson, Kenji Lim, John Russell, Tai Shani, Nicola Singh, and Suzanne Treister.
Artists have been invited to create an original A4 work in any medium. Works including painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture and prints will be exhibited at IMT Gallery in a democratic alphabetical hang, and made available via an online auction launching to coincide with London Gallery Weekend. Each work will have a starting bid of £50.
Participating artists include those IMT has previously collaborated with, alongside nominations by the gallery’s represented artists David Burrows, Plastique Fantastique, Maggie Roberts and Ra Tack, and curators the gallery has worked with over the years, including Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson, Kirsten Cooke and Nicole Sansone. The project reflects on the artists, conversations and projects that have shaped the gallery over the past two decades, and offers a wide range of current practices presented by an international community of artists.
All works in IMTwentyOne have been kindly donated by the participating artists. Proceeds from the auction will support IMT’s future curatorial and educational programmes.
Founded in 2005, IMT Gallery is a contemporary art space in London dedicated to showcasing critically engaged and innovative art. With two decades of experience, the gallery has built a reputation for supporting boundary-pushing artists and presenting thought-provoking projects that delve into complex social, cultural, and philosophical themes. Alongside its exhibition programme, the gallery represents a core group of emerging to established artists, organises workshops and courses that offer a unique approach to engaging with art, and commissions experimental writing on critical contemporary art.
Routledge recently published Contemporary Exhibition-Making and Management: Curating IMT Gallery as a Hybrid Space, authored by the gallery’s long-standing curator (2005 – 2023) Mark Rohtmaa-Jackson. The book is part of a series on the Global Creative Economy, edited by Aleksandar Brkić.

SEEING ART WITH THE WHOLE BODY
MOVEMENT WORKSHOP WITH CLAIRE LOUSSOUARN 16 JUNE 2026
In dialogue with IMTwentyOne, Seeing Art With The Whole Body is a movement workshop that invites participants to explore how to listen and receive an artist’s artwork and world through the three-dimensionality of our sensory bodies, moving away from an ocular-centred understanding of engaging with art.
Led by movement artist and somatic practitioner Claire Loussouarn, the workshop asks: how can we engage the whole range of our sensory machine when we come into contact with art and, in doing so, reclaim the full ability of our bodies to feel and express ourselves in response?
As well as exploring different ways of entering the artworks through movement and spatial awareness, we will attend to how bodies cross thresholds between private and public space, between being unseen and being on display, between dwelling and exhibition.
No previous movement experience is required, just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
