ROCKET

ROCKET, founded by Jonathan Stephenson in 1994, first collaborated with the internationally acclaimed British photographer Martin Parr in 1997 and has since presented 13 solo exhibitions by him including currently NO SMOKING. Other photographers included in the gallery programme include Matthias Hoch, Keld Helmer-Petersen and Paul Shambroom, alongside a roster of contemporary artists making paintings and sculpture, all of whom pursue an interest in colour. The second-generation gallerist Sid Stephenson started to curate at ROCKET in 2021.
