In a small room a picture hangs on the wall. I sit on a chair to see what will happen next.

A-M-G5 was set up in Glasgow in 2018 by Andrew Mummery as a space for exhibitions and dialogue, and as a publisher of limited edition books and prints. Its aim is to encourage a closer reading of individual artworks and a create a critical context for them.
Exhibitions focus on a single artwork, or a specially selected group of them, by an invited artist. Each is accompanied by a book containing documentation of the exhibited artwork and a specially commissioned piece of creative writing. Publications have also included books made in close collaboration with individual artists.
A-M-G5 has also hosted discussions and conversations between artists, curators and academics, and the occasional special project.
A-M-G5 works with visual artists, designers, creative writers, musicians and curators. It currently shares the exhibition space, 20 Albert Road, with the curatorial groups Cento and Ivory Tars.
Andrew Mummery works as an independent visual arts consultant and is curator of the Carol Rhodes Estate. Between 1996 and 2014 he set up and ran two contemporary art galleries in London – the Andrew Mummery Gallery [1996-2006] and Mummery+Schnelle [2007-2014].
