“Galleries have become such boring, alien, elitist, and unfriendly white boxes that nobody wants to visit anymore,” says Ghislain Pascal. “We’re trying to create a friendly, welcoming environment where people can enjoy visiting, get a cup of coffee or glass of wine, whilst picking up a copy of our latest BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! magazine, book, zine, or artwork, whilst chatting to our friendly front-of-house team.”
