The Showroom Mural Commission
The Showroom Mural Commission is a unique project for artists to activate the building's emblematic facade. Adam Shield’s mural commission—supported by the Abbey Harris Mural Fund—included an exhibition, Amp Envelope , which for the first time used the gallery space and outer building as a total installation, incorporating a cycle of public workshops.

Exhibitions at The Showroom
17 April – 24 June 2023
Oliver Ressler— Barricading the Ice Sheets
An exhibition by artist Oliver Ressler in the context of his eponymous research focused on climate justice movements. Barricading the Ice Sheets at The Showroom investigates climate breakdown, climate justice and activist movements; and the relation of the latter to the arts. A public programme will accompany the exhibition, connecting with key London-based voices including those active in the climate movement; as well as with activist networks contributing to public demonstrations in the city over the duration of the exhibition, and with local constituents in The Showroom neighbourhood. The exhibition welcomed 456 visitors, and a major publication for the project was released Fall 2023.
Barricading the Ice Sheets was supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF: AR 526). The exhibition at The Showroom is supported by Phileas: The Austrian Office for Contemporary Art and BMKOES: The Austrian Ministry of the Arts, Culture, the Civil Service and Sport. The exhibition was a culmination of the Europe-wide tour between Camera Austria, Graz (AT), Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb (HR), n.b.k. – Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, Berlin (DE), Tallinn Art Hall, Tallinn (EE), and The Showroom, London.

40th Anniversary Gala
In 2023, The Showroom turned 40, and we planned a celebration. For four decades, The Showroom has embodied many values championed in the art world today, providing a free and accessible programme of quality exhibitions and public events. We are known for our commitment to producing meaningful engagement with members of our local community, proudly upholding the original values and intentions set for the institution from the outset. Equally, our programme benefits from our relations with international artists and partner organisations, additionally serving global audiences. The Showroom enjoys a reputation as a seedbed for experimental practices and for providing essential support to artists at all stages of their careers. Since 1983, our engaging, collaborative programme has challenged what art can be and do, contributing to the UK art landscape and resonating with real international impact. This celebration was an opportunity to gather, share and inspire. It was a platform to enable us to look forward and expand what we do, without compromise. The event welcomed art dignitaries such as The Showroom’s first Director, David Thorpe; renowned artists such as Mona Hatoum, Jane and Louise Wilson, Rasheed Araeen, Amalia Pica, et al.; major gallerists Maureen Paley, Nicholas Logsdail (Lisson), Francois Chantala (Thomas Dane Gallery), Hwasun Barakat (Barakat Contemporary), Alex Sainsbury (Raven Row), et al.; alongside arts supporters, collectors, critics, historians, and past and present Trustees of The Showroom. Through ticket sales, donations and the art auction, the 40th Anniversary Gala raised £38,000 to support future Showroom programmes. .

Marianne Keating: An Ciúnas / The Silence
As an immersive, three-channel film installation, the exhibition brought together complex intersecting narratives addressing overlooked aspects of Irish migration during Ireland's colonial rule by Britain, and their enduring legacies in the present. Building upon the breadth of Keating’s research over the past decade, this new film traces multiple trajectories of migration from Ireland before and after the Great Famine of 1845-52. The work takes as a starting point the histories of the recruitment of Irish indentured labourers to work on plantations as a new labour force in post-abolition Jamaica. Whilst examining the resulting impact of the Irish diaspora in contemporary Jamaican politics, the film focuses in parallel on Irish migration to Britain due to successive eras of economic crisis; concentrating on the generations 'lost' since Irish Independence, and continuing to the recent exodus in the 2010s. Keating re-examines and documents these histories through Irish and Jamaican anti-colonial ties. The exhibition welcomed 650 visitors and received critical praise in such places as Frieze Magazine and Visual Arts Ireland.
The presentation of An Ciúnas / The Silence continued in Ireland with a tour throughout 2024-26, initiated and organised by SIRIUS, Cobh, County Cork; beginning at The Model, Sligo and including Galway Arts Centre, Galway; Rua Red, Dublin; Limerick City Gallery of Art; and Wexford Arts Centre.
An Ciúnas / The Silence was supported by The Arts Council of Ireland / An Chomhairle Ealaíon na hÉireann.

RESTORE
In this pivotal time of our 40th Anniversary, The Showroom took stock to reflect and strengthen our mission. We paused our exhibitions programme and operated online from the building during the first three months of the year to align with our programme vision called RESTORE . We believe that by building resilience and consolidating our efforts to maintain staff well-being we will set our deep roots in well-nurtured soil and reinforce the programme focus.
Inspired by Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe’s thinking, The Showroom’s RESTORE programme will frame the philosopher’s proposal for the future of life, culture, and freedom: repair, remember, reassemble, and reconstitute, in a series of projects to develop over the next two years. Our strategy is driven by our commitment to promote physical and mental well-being and to produce sustainable programming from physical implementation to conceptual resonance. Additionally, The Showroom will reinforce its commitment to embedding social engagement in its programmes by focusing on nurturing meaningful relationships in our neighbourhood and beyond. We also devoted the necessary time to launch our new website, which now hosts exciting activations of our archive, and we continued working with artists on future projects that will unfold over the next two years.
February 2024
Tetine: Music for Breathing
Musicians/artists Eliete Mejorado, Bruno Verner and cellist Yoko Afi from Brazilian experimental trio Tetine presented Music For Breathing at the Showroom – an audio-visual performance featuring their unusual blend of atmospheric electronica, mutant DIY chamber pop and spoken-word, based on their most recent albums Music for Breathing and After the Future, out on Slum Dunk Music in 2023. Music For Breathing was born as a respiratory, meditative, and improvisatory piece of DIY tropical-mutant-punk-funk chamber music written for cello, voice, piano, organ, electronics and video, responding to our planetary ecosphere in erosion, and to the disorientation experienced in relation to various polluted environments in political, social and philosophical transitions. The performance, which was an ode to Earth’s ancestral future as the only possible future, was sold-out and attended by 100 ticket-holders.

When Water Embraces Empty Space by Tuan Andrew Nguyễn
23 January - 5 April 2025
When Water Embraces Empty Space is a new film-based project by Vietnamese American artist Tuấn Andrew Nguyễn, the artist’s first solo exhibition in London. Nugyễn’s practice explores how storytelling can promote healing, working with communities from different regions of the world that suffer from colonial trauma as a consequence of land and culture loss, wars and displacement.
The films in the exhibition focus on the Luf Boat, an exquisitely hand-carved fifteen-metre-long, wooden outrigger sailboat, from the island of Luf in Papua New Guinea. The boat’s provenance has been the subject of much debate in recent years. Taken from the island’s inhabitants following a genocidal attack and brought to Berlin by German traders in 1903, the Luf Boat now resides in the ethnological collection of the Humboldt Forum. With the loss of the last boat of its type and the craftsmanship preserved within it, the islanders also

lost the knowledge of how to build these large vessels.
Working with the descendants of the Luf Boat’s original builders, Nguyễn seeks to fulfil their expressed wish to reconnect with the boat and mourn their community’s loss, by proposing a novel approach to restitution and reparation enacted through knowledge-sharing.

choir for women and non-binary people. The members of the choir are seen displaying maps sourced from climate modelling data, showing Britain’s transformed geography for 2050 as a result of rising sea levels. They reflect on the radical social and political changes required, and call for the power to bring us together to form communities in the face of these changes. The group imagine and articulate possible alternatives following the ‘deep listening’ workshop methods of queer composer Pauline Oliveros, guided by Karikis. They also reflect on the book Ideas to Postpone the End of the World by Brazilian indigenous leader and philosopher Ailton Krenak, and read extracts from the text The Universal Right to Breathe by Cameroonian political thinker, Achille Mbembe. The exhibition will present the outcomes of performative activations resulting from cross generational dialogues with youth groups and adults.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Showroom Gallery Limited
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 11 to 25.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
ꞏ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
ꞏ follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
ꞏ state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
ꞏ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
ꞏ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
1. Accounting policies
1.1. Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (issued October 2019) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Companies Act 2006.
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
1.2. Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when:
-
the charity is legally entitled to the funds
-
any performance conditions attached to the income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable
-
the amount can be reliably measured
- Donations and legacies
Grants/donations are recognised in incoming resources in the year in which they are receivable, except as follows:
-
when donors specify that grants/donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods
-
when donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred and not included in incoming resources until the preconditions for use are met.
- Charitable activities
Gallery income is included in incoming resources in the period in which the relevant activity takes place.
Project specific funding - when donors specify that donations and grants are for particular restricted purposes, which do not amount to pre-conditions regarding entitlement, this income is included in incoming resources of restricted funds when receivable.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
- Donated services and facilities
Donated services or facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.
- Investment income
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
1.3. Expenditure
All expenditure is included on an accruals basis inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered and is recognised when:
-
there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment
-
it is probable that settlement will be required
-
the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably
- Charitable activities
Gallery costs - costs incurred in running the gallery.
- Support costs
The administrative and overhead costs associated with running the office from which the company operates as well as governance costs. Support costs are wholly attributable to gallery costs.
- Governance costs
Costs associated with the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity.
1.4. Fund accounting
Funds held by the charity are either:
-
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
-
Designated funds - these are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose.
-
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
1.5. Leasing
Rentals payable under operating leases are charged to the income and expenditure account on a straight line basis over the lease term.

1.6. Pensions
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
1.7. Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Individual fixed assets costing £500 or more are capitalised at cost.
Depreciation is provided at annual rates calculated to write off the cost less residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
- Short leasehold properties Straight line over the life of the lease Website - 33% on reducing balance - Fixtures/fittings/equipment 25% on reducing balance
1.8. Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
1.9. Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
1.10. Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
1.11. Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
1.12. Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value, and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
1.13. Significant Accounting Estimates and Judgements
In determining the carrying amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the charity makes assumptions of the effects of uncertain future events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The charity's estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and expectation of future events and are reviewed annually. Further information about key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation of uncertainty, are set out in the notes.

Fixed assets/stocks
Funds invested in fixed assets and stock, predominately the refurbishment of the rented gallery space. It is assumed that the fixed asset fund will be written down to zero over the time of the lease. Liquidation value of the fixed asset fund is assumed to be zero as well.
Reserve fund
The reserves fund contains an equity reserve of £74,000 equal to a minimum of three months of operating costs in cash to ensure ongoing concern. It also contains the sum required to make redundancy payments to staff who have worked here for more than two years. Furthermore, it includes a reinstatement reserve of £35,000 for the amendments made to the rented gallery space as required by the landlord. These funds are not available for operations.
Special Development
£25,000 of the special development fund was spent in the year on the 40th anniversary fundraiser, and other programme activity. £10,000 will be carried forward as designated for special development purposes, including building improvements, increase in staffing capacity and/or the underwriting of the programme.
Property Fund
Funds were used to cover final costs related to the renewal of The Showroom lease and the balance was returned to unrestricted.
Tanner Lane
To date, Great Western Developments has paid two-thirds (2/3) of the overall project contract, and The Showroom has spent the majority prior and in fiscal year 2023/24. £8,500 should be carried into fiscal year 2024/25 for Long Distance Press (LDP). The Showroom expects the last one-third (1/3)-£50,000-to be paid in March 2025, with expenses for that project occurring in fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27.
