About

Living Room is an independent project space located in Metaxourgeio, Athens. It was founded in 2022 by Auðunn Kvaran and is currently managed by Auðunn and Nikoletta Georgakopoulou. Living Room started in a residential living room in Victoria in Athens. The project soon relocated to a bigger venue at Spetson 29 in Kypseli. Over two and a half years, this location hosted 20 exhibitions, featuring the work of 29 artists representing 14 countries. In March 2025, Living Room transitioned to a new location at Marathonos 71 in Metaxourgeio, which now accommodates both an exhibition space and studio spaces available for rent.

Living Room is dedicated to fostering the creative development and public presentation of contemporary art, both Greek and international. We offer a supportive environment for artists to realize their artistic potential, from initial ideation through to the final exhibition and potential publication. We look at each artist’s engagement with Living Room as a focused, short-term residency that culminates in a public exhibition of their work.

A key objective of Living Room is to serve as a platform for international artists seeking to exhibit their work within Greece ~ facilitating the expansion of their professional networks beyond their local art scenes. Living Room places a particular emphasis on hosting artists' inaugural solo exhibitions in Greece or their first solo presentations outside of their countries of origin. By doing this, Living Room aims to cultivate meaningful dialogue and exchange between artistic communities, offering a unique opportunity for artists to gain international exposure and critical recognition.
