Uncaught Hares at Greenwich
The current exhibition at the Stephen Lawrence gallery explores works by a group of pioneering artists working in the Greenwich and Deptford area. Titled Uncaught Hares, the exhibition highlights the importance and influence of studio practice.
With works of over 30 artists on show, Uncaught Hares celebrates 20 years of studio artists working in buildings located around King George Street in Greenwich.
The pieces include paintings and sculptures. David Waterworth, the gallery’s curator, says: “This is a group of very influential artist figures in Britain. They hold senior teaching posts in the largest art institutions such as – Chelsea School of Art, the Royal Academy of Art as well as the Royal College of Art.”
The studios, collectively named Greenwich Studios, were one of the first studio-associations where a group of artists meet to work in the same workspace.
This exhibition is sponsored by Clifford Chance – a corporate law firm based in the Docklands, which has strong affiliations with promoting emerging artwork.
The exhibition runs until May, 13 at the Stephen Lawrence Gallery, and at the Clifford Chance gallery from April 18 until May 20.
Opening times are: Monday – Friday 10am until 5pm; Saturdays 11am until 4pm.
Please note that the gallery is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

University of Greenwich
The University of Greenwich is a large university with three campuses - in Greenwich, at the Old Royal Naval College, a World Heritage site; in Avery Hill, south-east London, set among 86 acres of parkland; and in Medway, at an elegant Edwardian red-brick campus in Chatham Maritime. The university is home to a thriving community of nearly 29,000 students, one in five of them postgraduate, and combines strong regional, national and international links with a record for excellence in research and a mission for access to higher education.
The university carried out more than £15 million of research and consultancy for companies, research councils and other public and private bodies last year. The quality of the university's research work has been recognised in the award of three Queen's Anniversary Prizes for Higher & Further Education and four recent Times Higher Education awards.
Alongside its major economic, social and cultural contribution, the university prides itself on its high standards of teaching, careers guidance and personal support. The two most recent Sunday Times University Guides have placed Greenwich at the top of the London league table for student satisfaction. In the 2011 Sunday Times Guide, Greenwich was ranked 26th overall for student satisfaction, placing it among the top quarter of all UK universities. Greenwich also topped the publication's national league table for student satisfaction in a variety of subjects including Civil, Chemical and other Engineering courses, Law, and Medical Sciences and Pharmacy. The Sunday Times added that students at the Greenwich campus “have some of the most exquisite university grounds in the country”.
People from more than 100 countries choose to study at Greenwich, as part of an international student community of 5,000. The university also has an extensive international network of partnerships with universities and overseas colleges.
