The Showroom is a not-for-profit art gallery in Marylebone, London, which displays site-specific works by emerging artists.[1] The gallery presents four shows each year, a schedule that allows artists the time to develop and realise their work on site.
Established in 1983, the gallery was based at a site in Bethnal Green, East London.[2] In 2008, the gallery relocated to a building in Marylebone, London, on Penfold Street, which was converted by Berlin-based architects ifau + Jesko Fezer.[3]
Solo shows at The Showroom in the former East End space included Mona Hatoum, Sam Taylor-Wood, Simon Starling, Christina Mackie, Jim Lambie, Claire Barclay, and Eva Rothschild.
The Showroom receives fixed-term funding from Arts Council of England and other organisations and individuals. The director Gabriela Salgado was appointed in July 2022,[4] when Elvira Dyangani Ose left to become director of the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA).[5] Previous directors were Emily Pethick, Kirsty Ogg, Kim Sweet and David Thorp.
