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.

With AI constantly becoming more common, we think it is important that we set transparent usage terms regarding the use of AI and generative AI. As a cultural entity focused on artistic creation, we find it important to promote human-made art, and to highlight and support human creations.

We do not use generative AI when writing our exhibition texts, creating visual identities for exhibitions or publishing any other material. We also make sure that the works that we present, and any incoming material from artists (such as creative writings, bios, artist statements etc.) that we host are not created with the use of generative artificial intelligence.

We do however use AI as a supplement to the research and preparation phases of exhibitions. This might include searching for sources, aiding with fact checking, researching materials and product availability, or receiving technical assistance.

We generally discourage the use of generative AI for artworks, although we acknowledge that some artworks might require its usage. If we do exhibit an artwork which uses generative AI in any form, we will disclose its usage in the exhibition handout in detail.

We are not currently reviewing or accepting exhibition proposals.
