Car park hosts contemporary artist Hannah Barry's latest sculpture project
Published 29 June 2010
Bold Tendencies sculpture project, an annual exhibition supported by Southwark Council and held on the top four floors of the disused car park in Peckham, runs from 30 June to 30 September this year.
Last year, the same exhibition had over 30,000 visitors. This year, reflecting the enthusiastic response from the public and the art world alike, the organisers are supported by an external committee which recommends, reviews and commissions work.
Frank's Cafe and Campari Bar, designed by Lettice Drake and Paloma Gormley and run by Frank Boxer and chef Michael Davies, will return for a second year. The food at Frank's is a reflection of the best available British summer produce; fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, cooked with consideration and presented simply.
Councillor Veronica Ward, cabinet member for culture, leisure, sport, and the Olympics said: "Southwark welcomes cutting edge arts projects in unusual public spaces and Hannah Barry's innovative contemporary sculpture exhibition will no doubt inspire and become a must-see in vibrant Peckham until September. We're extremely pleased to support this exhibition and look forward to working with Hannah and other artists on their next ventures."

Background
Frank's was designed by Paloma Gormley and Lettice Drake and built over three weeks with a team of volunteers. Their firm Practice Architecture is a design-build practice working on small-scale projects with an emphasis on pragmatic design. Recent projects include Bench 1, an amphitheatre on stilts designed for the New Art Centre in Salisbury.
Frank's is run by Frank Boxer and Michael Davies who met working at the Anchor and Hope in Waterloo. Head chef Michael Davies trained under Lawrence Tottingham currently of the Aumbry in Prestwich, and has been working at the Anchor for the last 18 months under Johnathan Jones. Frank Boxer established the successful Italo deli in Vauxhall with his father and has recently opened the Brunswick House Cafe also in Vauxhall
