- Visitor Information
Contemporary art specialist Serena Morton and music manager/promoter Raye Cosbert are the combined forces behind the achingly hip Berners Street art gallery, Morton Metropolis. Serena's background was in the fashion, music and television industries before she moved into the art world, joining Christie's in the nineties where she worked in 20th Century and Contemporary British Art. Business partner Raye brings his experience working in the music industry, promoting concerts within Metropolis Music and managing Amy Winehouse. Cosbert in conjunction with Metropolis Music has worked with artists that include Blur; Robbie Williams, Coldplay and Lily Allen. He was also the first promoter to operate at the Royal Opera House in London. With Morton Metropolis they bring that sense of fashion and rock 'n' roll to the art world with exhibitions by the likes of Gerald Laing, Rupert Shrive and rising star Stuart Semple - the pop art influenced artist who has collaborated with Levis, Vogue, Selfridges and Diesel, and floated 2,000 smiling clouds over St Paul's.
