A new exhibition in Tottenham is set to celebrate Paul Gascoigne, ‘not just as a footballer but as a serious cultural figure’. 

OOF Gallery, housed in Warmington House in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, has already hosted several suitably football-themed exhibitions since its opening in July 2021. The new exhibition is entirely inspired by Jeremy Deller’s 1995 ‘The World of Gazza!!’ poster, which featured a fake show about the footballer. 

The poster will appear in the exhibition, alongside art, memorabilia and archive material, ‘creating a visceral portrait of a complex man’.

Editor and founder Eddy Frankel said: “Gazza’s tale is one of glory, pain, sadness and terrible decisions. This exhibition explores his past triumphs and his repeated falls from grace, without shying away from the darker sides of his character.”

‘The World of Gazza!’ will include new commissions and existing work by artists and designers such as Jeremy Deller, Douglas Gordon, Lydia Blakeley, Glen Pudvine, Beatrice Lettice Boyle, Rosie McGinn, Corbin Shaw, Trackie McLeod, A Store Like 94, Robert McNally, Winnie Hall, Robin Broadley, Emmely Elgersma, Andrew Pierre Hart and Marcus Wood.

The exhibition runs from Friday, 21st April until Sunday, 17th September.
