The space is centred around the concept of showcasing artwork in several parallel sessions simultaneously, arranged by time, date, and season. Founded in 2024 by Olu Odukoya, Parallel Sessions redefines the traditional gallery experience. It is located at 88 Teesdale St in East London—a location that features in the cult British film "Snatch" (2000) as Lenny's Pawn Shop. The 3x3x3m volume is a nod to the constraints of Spatial Art, and is designed for easy replication in multiple locations.

‍

Our program is non-linear, allowing for repetition, looping, and varying duration. Sessions are curated to be time-based, with individual works showcased as sessions and grouped into shows that run as seasons. Each session is flexible. From 1 minute to 1 month, or a whole year. Exhibitions can be exhibited as one-offs, looped, freeze frames, or as individual separate exhibition group shows.
