Hockney show launching new King's Cross venue 16.11.22

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.
