Haworth Tompkins has been working with the London Theatre Company and 59 Productions on Lightroom, their new venue in King’s Cross dedicated to artist-led immersive shows. Lightroom, a four-storey space equipped with the latest digital projection and audio technology, is opening in February with David Hockney’s new show Bigger & Closer. Hockney will use the innovative venue to take the audience on a personal journey through his art, featuring iconic paintings alongside some rarely seen pieces, and some newly created work. This will be the first in a repertoire of original shows made with leading artists and innovators. Located on Lewis Cubitt Square in a building by Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, Lightroom was designed as a sister space to the Bridge Theatre which opened in 2017. The generous foyer will contain a café/bar run in collaboration with St John, a gift shop, and seating both in the foyer and outside on the square. Tickets are available here.
