Rice + Toye

Rice + Toye is a curatorial project for nice people, by nice people, supported by the kindest of patrons: Cook Rice and Kitty Toye.

Founded in 2014, Rice + Toye began as a project space in Bermondsey that invited emerging artists to exhibit or experiment with new work. The aim was to enable artists to test and venture within their practice by offering an open and humble space.

From November 2015 Rice + Toye will be guests in a new home at The Society Club in Soho, London. THE DOOR, is a small space; a snug and cosy place; it is the entrance to a house in Soho that no longer opens; it is a ground-floor vitrine that never closes; it is a centre for broadcast in the heart of the city; it is a way in and out of the world; a way to welcome, new and old, friends and family.

Through commissioning artists to engage with the constraints of THE DOOR, Rice + Toye’s aim is to inject chance, experimentation and play into a crack in the wall. The innocuous space now turned into a resilient, 24 hour exhibition programme.
