Living Room

In 1975 Sir Miles Warren designed a gallery that would adjoin his apartment and architectural offices at 65 Cambridge Terrace. Images from the time he lived there express a living space that fuses architecture, art and home; a shag pile rug, Danish chairs and a salon style wall of paintings. It looks like a place you’d want to be.

For the 2024 edition of Living Room, Caroline Billing and Andrea du Chatenier have curated the work of eleven artists in response to Warren’s remarkable architecture and the use for which it was designed.

Drawing on our personal and cultural associations with the objects and architecture of daily life, the exhibition features work that considers how we design and adorn domestic spaces as an act of self-expression.

Living Room exists somewhere between show-home, lounge room and design-fair-display, and features new and recent works by Woo Lam (Sam) Choi (Walk in the Park), Michael Gilling (XYLO Woodcraft), Jacquelyn Fang Greenbank, Sam Kelly, Kirsty Lillico, Isabella Loudon, Ming Ranginui, Richard Stratton, Isobel Thom, Chris Weaver, and Daegan Wells.

Returning for a second and final year, Living Room is a collaboration between Objectspace and The National.
