ABOUT IMAGES  
Louise T Blouin InstituteThe Louise T Blouin Foundation is one of the largest not-for-profits in the art world. Most famous for publishing the sainted 'Modern Painters' magazine, they're now opening their first London gallery in a rough area of White City that their PR material euphemistically describes as 'Notting Hill'. It's the kind of ex-industrial space that one expects to see in East London. Nine thousand square feet of galleries are the main attraction, but there are also studios, spaces for community projects and a magnificent entry hall. The 1920s facade of this former coach-works for Rolls Royce, Bentley and Daimler has been preserved, jazzed up by a James Turrell light installation, while the interior is a triumph of gallery design. It's just the kind of space that this part of the capital has been missing. In combination with the new permanent home for Saatchi's collection, it might even put staid old West London back on the map for lovers of contemporary art. Note: if getting there by Tube, Latimer Road, Shepherd's Bush and Holland Park are the nearest stations (it's virtually impossible to get there from White City because of the Westway).
