GIANT (Gallery of Innovation and Anti Normal Thinking) is a 15000 sq ft artist-run space in Bournemouth. Founded by British
artist Stuart Semple, GIANT occupies the entire second floor of a former Debenhams building in the town centre and is
dedicated to presenting challenging works by some of the world’s most respected contemporary artists, bringing many to
Bournemouth for the first time.
Exhibited artists to date include: Louise Bourgeois, The Chapman Brothers; Judy Chicago; Jeremy Deller; Jim Lambie; Ad Minoliti; Senga Nengudi; Martin Parr; Tai Shani; Michael Simpson; Mark Tichner; Gavin Turk; and Kacey Wong.
Launched in Summer 2021, GIANT has already gained critical and public acclaim, being covered in major publications including the Times, where it was branded “Saatchi-on-Sea,” as well as the Observer, the Telegraph and the Daily Mail.
As the largest arts centre of its kind on the South Coast, since its launch GIANT has engaged audiences with contemporary visual art, through a program of major exhibitions, projects and events, including several major international-level shows. With visitor figures that rival some of London’s most loved institutions GIANT has lead a cultural sea change and has proved itself a key part in Bournemouth’s resurgence as a major coastal creative centre.
