The Peripheral artist collective was formed in November 2005 and is comprised of information assistants past and present from the Henry Moore Institute. The group was convened with the intension of presenting exhibitions of work spread across a variety of media, promoting the individual practice and agendas of those involved, whilst acknowledging their group status brought about by a shared occupation.

Although the work usually being exhibited is wildly divergent in both style and subject matter, our underlying principle is to create a context in which the work is complementary rather than in conflict with each other. In effect we are seeking a curatorial strategy for our exhibitions that will present a sense of cohesion and coherence.
