ABOUT

RoamingROOM in the past placed contemporary art in dilapidated, unused, lived in or occupied buildings and invited artists to produce new works contextualised by the architecture, giving them the
opportunity to present unusual imaginative projects.

RoamingROOM BRUTON is now exploring how a gallery operates in a domestic space by showing contemporary artists in the rural town of Bruton. It operates in a living space in a 17th century building, once a Coaching Inn, that now doubles as an active exhibition space, merging everyday living with carefully curated meaningful work.

Embracing the architecture, the history, the furniture, the domesticity, this home space offers an intimate engagement for the audience. The collectors and visitors have time and space to see  ambitious work, and to consider how it invigorates the atmosphere of a particular room.

The relaxed and personal experience prompts conversation and community, and aims to challenge, inspire, and strengthen the sense that art belongs in everyday life.

OUR HISTORY

R O O M opened in Bristol in 2002, where it formed the annexe of a newly-built, custom-made house. The initiative evolved and grew to become ROOM TOO, FOUND GALLERY, ROOMARTSPACE, ROOM LONDON and then ROAMING ROOM, originally operating in Marylebone.
