An immersive installation demonstrating how art can bring a home to life opens next week in London’s Fitzrovia.
‘A Living Room’ will become the temporary home of Interrupted Art, a subscription service that allows members to enjoy art on rotation, swapping pieces in their homes every ten weeks.
All 26 artists currently signed up to the service will have pieces exhibited ‘tightly along the walls to show how different styles, textures and sizes can work beautifully together’ at 139 Whitfield Street in a ‘part-gallery, part-living room’ promising a space to convene, share and explore.

‘Activating our temporary gallery in the heart of London’s Fitzrovia isn’t just a chance to stage a show of our artists’ amazing works to the public,’ says Interrupted Art founder and former Tate curator Stephanie Crosland-Goss. ‘It’s a space for us to convene London’s top voices in the arts, interiors and lifestyle worlds to talk about art’s role in the home.
‘We’ve called it A Living Room for a reason; not just because we believe that art brings a room to life, but to represent how we want to use our space to share ideas, trends and connections. Interrupted Art is all about bringing these worlds closer together and showing the transformative role of original art on the home and the people inside it.”
‘A Living Room’ runs from 12-16 November at 139 Whitfield Street, London, W1T 5EN
