History
The Dairy is a private initiative founded by art collectors Frank Cohen and Nicolai Frahm,[1][2][3] and opened to the public with free admission in April 2013. Its focus is drawing together exhibitions based on the collections of the founders,[4] inviting guest curators to create shows.
The inaugural exhibition was 'Quicksand' of the work of Swiss artist John Armleder.[5]
Facilities
The Dairy is housed in a former Express Dairies milk depot,[6] which was renovated in 2013 by the architect Jenny Jones. The building comprises a number of different exhibition spaces including two main halls, two sculpture yards and several smaller exhibition spaces. It totals 12,500 sq ft.
