IMT Gallery

IMT Gallery (also known as IMT or Image Music Text[1]) is a contemporary art gallery in Bethnal Green in London's East End.

In January 2011 IMT became IMT Gallery[4] and began representing artists alongside its exhibition programme. The gallery currently represents David Burrows, Paola Ciarska, Lotte Rose Kjær Skau and Plastique Fantastique. Since its founding IMT Gallery is curated by Mark Jackson, with Nicole Sansone joining as a co-curator from 2014 to 2016.
