Garden of Privatised Delights opens to visitors in London next week after Venice run

People unable to attend the 2021 Venice Biennale will be able to experience the event’s British Pavilion without having to leave London from next week, when it opens to the public at the Building Centre in Bloomsbury.

The pavilion, which was curated by Manijeh Verghese and Madeleine Kessler, features immersive spaces by The Decorators, Built Works, Studio Polpo, Public Works, vPPR, and Unscene Architecture.

Inspired by Hieronymus Bosch’s triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, the pavilion is called The Garden of Privatised Delights, and explores the privatisation of public space.
