“AIR (Information Registry of Art) sought to collect artists’ information, find new patrons, generate new audiences and ways to engage that audience in the visual arts. AIR was started by Peter Sedgley who believed that artists needed a more direct way for their work to reach the dealers and collectors without having to go through an intermediary gallery. AIR, located first in St. Katharine’s Dock, was non-selective and any artist could submit biographical details and slides of their work… AIR Gallery was homeless until 1979 when premises were obtained in Rosebery Avenue where SPACE and the AIR Gallery remained until 1986.

Sonia Boyce had a successful solo exhibition at AIR Gallery in the mid 1980s, while the gallery was under the directorship of Sara Selwood.
