The Amber Room, is a programme of exhibitions centred around a dinner, taking place in different locations across London. The aim is for the dinner to become an extension of the exhibition, so that everything on the table, from the napkins to the glassware is made by the exhibiting artists and for sale. Previous Amber Rooms have been hosted by Matt’s Gallery, Reference Point Library in 180 The Strand, at architect Alex Michaelis’ family home in Hammersmith and in a disused office space in Vauxhall. This iteration of The Amber Room is titled Sticking up for Soft and is centred around the notion of softness. The artists exhibiting explore the concept of soft in different ways, whether that be materially, conceptually or formally, the show presents an array of interpretations to the theme. It takes place at Cedric Bardawil in Soho with Collector Dinners held on the 16th, 17th or 18th of July 2024 at 6.30pm.
Exhibiting artists: Nancy Allen, Leo Costelloe, Emma Mackintosh, Anna Perach, Freddie Robins, Alexandra Searle, Sam Bakewell, Lucy Ellerton, Richard Malone, Stephen Polatch, Ro Robertson, Christopher Taylor, Rob Branigan, Lydia Gifford, Jaclyn Pappalardo, Sue Ray, Rosie Reed, Isabelle Young.
