An organisation called Camden Arts Projects (CAP) has taken over the property at 176 Prince of Wales Road which was bought last year by the husband-and-wife artist duo, Philip and Charlotte Colbert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-dp-p font-text-light font-light text-lg leading-normal tracking-wide mb-base last:mb-0\" itemprop=\"text\">According to Tom Keating, the director of CAP, the couple established the not-for-profit organisation following their acquisition of the property. CAP, which is part of an umbrella company known as Contemporary Culture Collective, now operates the main gallery and front spaces of the building<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-dp-p font-text-light font-light text-lg leading-normal tracking-wide mb-base last:mb-0\" itemprop=\"text\">\u201cCAP was founded with the aim of reopening and revitalising this important cultural venue, with a focus on supporting both emerging and established artists and filmmakers and making them free and accessible to the wider community,\u201d Keating says. He adds that curator Hala Matar, who formerly headed up The Little House, a Dries Van Noten space in Los Angeles, is running the exhibition programme.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"644\" height=\"429.2878916172735\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;width:100%;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 644 429.2878916172735'%3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/jpeg;base64,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'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/1a61ace91899106ee50275c9f66816026d239ab9-4724x3149.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>CAP&#8217;s opening show, which runs until 29 June, includes the Martin Creed work Work No. 3891\u00a0Half the air in a given space<\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of CAP<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-dp-p font-text-light font-light text-lg leading-normal tracking-wide mb-base last:mb-0\" itemprop=\"text\">CAP&#8217;s launch show, which runs until 29 June, includes two works by the Turner prize winning artist Martin Creed.
