Three By Three is an exhibition held in Yinka Shonibare's new space at Sunbury House, 1 Andrews Road, London. Utillsing an old office space just off Broadway Market as a temporary gallery until it is redeveloped, presumably sometime in the near future, the show managed to embrace the freedom for expression that the building offered. The concept for the space is that each month until its eventual development three selectors will each choose three artists to show in it.

The contrast between the cold and uninviting architecture and the engaging art and jovial atmosphere of the opening was a great success. Recently there has been a most welcome move away from the 'white wall' exhibition. This year for example saw the music and arts festival 'Concrete and Glass' which used several spaces in exciting and interesting ways. With so many dormant commercial spaces scattered about the city it is an exciting prospect and i expect to see a lot more shows like 'Three By Three' cropping up over the course of 2009. Let's hope so.

What it is that excited me about this particular evening of art was the way it felt so open; essentially without boundaries. I found myself playing scrabble while being bathed in the howls of someone singing karaoke, it was like a Christmas office party gone way, way wrong and plenty surreal. Wonderful fun and a truly most welcome and refreshing experience to have at an art opening.

There will be more of these shows to come and I seriously recommend attending them since they are really trying to push emerging and exciting art. The selectors for this exhibition are Ruth Beale, Maria Marshall and JJ Charlesworth. The artists they chose to exhibit are Amy Feneck, Aurelien Froment, Neil Harvey, Brigida Mendes, Simon Perrotin, Michael Pinsky, Tim Roberts, Karen Russo and Bjorn Veno.

The exhibition will open on Saturdays 11am-6pm and Sundays 12pm-6pm until the 18 January 2009, excluding the 27th and 28th December.
