Fabrica

Fabrica occupies Holy Trinity Church on Duke Street, a Grade II listed Regency building that closed as a place of worship in 1985. Artists from Brighton's Red Herring Studios took over the deconsecrated space and staged Fabrica's first exhibition in 1996, choosing a name that plays on the French fabriquer, to make. The gallery commissions large-scale installations built specifically for the church's proportions rather than showing existing work, with past commissions from Anish Kapoor, Brian Eno, Olafur Eliasson and Martin Parr. It runs three exhibitions a year, in spring, summer and autumn, each paired with talks and film screenings. Entry to view the installations is free, and the attached cafe-bar and shop open during gallery hours.
