His immersive exhibition is returning to the capital
After opening new immersive art gallery Lightroom in King’s Cross, with David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away), the British artist is bringing his exhibition back to the venue this spring for a third run this spring. The dedicated four-storey space has been designed to facilitate the large-scale projections and high-tech surround sound – Lightroom’s other immersive display, Vogue: Inventing the Runway will also be running alongside the Hockney show.
If you didn’t make it down for the show last year or the original run in 2023, here’s what you can expect from David Hockney: Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away). 60 years of the artist’s work will be displayed in a cycle of six themed chapters, alongside a specially composed score by Nico Muhly and commentary by Hockney himself. Lightroom worked closely with Hockney to bring the production together, adapting old works and even creating some new ones too. The experience will see the likes of Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), A Bigger Grand Canyon and other iconic pieces shape a theatrical exploration of Hockney’s career, from the 60s to the present day; LA to Yorkshire to Normandy.
