Exchange Place: A Laboratory for Testing Ideas

Exchange Place is a unique, 100-year-old Art Deco building, repurposed as a creative laboratory where contemporary artists can experiment and test bold new ideas.

The building’s historic charm, with its beautiful art deco façade and quirky warren-like interior, contrasts with the cutting-edge creativity nurtured inside. Home to the Testing Ground residency programme, Exchange Place invites artists to explore innovative ways of making and presenting their work in a public-facing project space, while the basement hosts immersive installations and pop-up events.

With an emphasis on risk-taking, experimentation, and the freedom to fail, Exchange Place is home to the thought-provoking and unexpected.
