About this Event
We are proud to present ‘PRIVATE LIFE’, a group art exhibition where the boundaries between the private and public sphere blur, where the everyday life of the individual intersects with the collective experience of the community. Hosted in a venue with a rich history, this show brings together diverse works from some of our favourite artists around the world.
The venue, which began as an underground toilet in the early 20th century, transformed into an infamous underground London nightclub in the 2000s. Known as Public Life, this club was a haven for nocturnal party chasers at hours when no other place in London could welcome them.
One of the things we love about this venue is its raw, unpolished feel. Unlike the sterile, white-walled galleries you're used to, this space carries the gritty charm of its past lives. The echoes of its history linger in every corner, adding a layer of authenticity and character to the exhibition.
PRIVATE LIFE as a theme leaves the door open to interpretation from each artist. What’s particularly compelling is how art, often a deeply private and intimate expression created in the solitude of a studio, suddenly transforms when it’s displayed in a public setting. The shift from being alone with your thoughts to having your work displayed and critiqued publicly can be deeply exposing. This show captures that transition, showcasing how personal creativity interacts with public scrutiny.
Opening night is free for everyone to attend, with drinks and music provided. Bring your friends and join us in celebrating the artists’ incredible works.
