Matt Carey-Williams

Matt Carey-Williams works with contemporary artists on exceptional exhibitions. Through a year-round programme in London and presentations at venues across the world, his curatorial project stages unexpected encounters between emerging and established artists and international audiences, drawing on three decades’ experience connecting artists, institutions and collectors at the highest levels.

The programme unfolds at two different scales and speeds: Scenes, staged throughout the year at 12 Porchester Place, and Episodes in changing international locations. Scenes introduce an individual body of work while Episodes create thematic narratives – each elucidated in an in-depth curatorial essay by Carey-Williams – that offer fresh perspectives on art and the world around us.

Carey-Williams has worked at the world’s leading galleries and auction houses, most recently Victoria Miro, where he was a Senior Director and Head of Sales from 2018–23. He has held sales roles at the influential galleries Gagosian in New York and White Cube in London, led Haunch of Venison in Europe, and occupied senior global positions at Phillips, Christie’s and Sotheby’s, where he began his career in 1997.
