A highly popular exhibition, The Vinyl Factory: Reverb, has been extended due to strong public interest and will now run until March 2, 2025. Tickets are currently available through the 180 Studios website.

A Celebration of Audiovisual Art

Reverb showcases 17 distinct audiovisual installations, representing 20 years of commissions and collaborations by The Vinyl Factory. The exhibition features both established and emerging artists, including new works by Es Devlin and Theaster Gates, alongside the immersive Hi-Fi Listening Room Dream No.1 created by Devon Turnbull.

Did You Know? Amplified, a work by Theaster Gates, functions as a sonic installation during the day and transforms into a live performance space at night.

A dedicated space, designed by Ben Kelly, displays 100 vinyl records created by artists and released by The Vinyl Factory.
