- Art & Design
A Bigger Splash presents a quiet yet confident meeting between contemporary art and collectible design. Developed in collaboration with The Invisible Collection, the exhibition invites visitors into a composed and immersive setting. Art is not treated as an accessory, but rather becomes part of the structure of the room, shaping how the space feels and how it is experienced.
The project is led by Spaceless Gallery, a Paris-based gallery known for its nomadic and context-driven approach. Rather than operating within a permanent white-cube format, the gallery develops exhibitions that respond directly to their surroundings. Each presentation grows out of a dialogue between artists, architecture, and design. For this London edition, the spatial concept was conceived with French interior designer Dorothée Delaye. By blending Parisian clarity with Mediterranean warmth, Delaye gives the exhibition a balanced and welcoming character.
Presented at The Invisible Collection during Frieze Week, the exhibition brings together Elisa Bo, Hanna Heino, Quentin Derouet, and Line Nilsen. Their practices explore surface, perception, and inner landscapes. Photography, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media pieces are placed among collectible furniture and architectural details. Sunlight Mediterranean hues sit beside cooler tones, creating a palette that feels calm yet colorful. This encourages visitors to slowly observe and take in their surroundings.

This project is also part of a broader journey for the gallery. After London, Spaceless continues its presence in Paris with collaborations alongside Maison LELEU and participation in Art Paris. In New York, a permanent space at One High Line in Chelsea offers collectors the chance to view works within a refined residential setting. This gives them the opportunity to see art as part of daily life rather than as a spectacle.
A Bigger Splash shows that art can be portrayed differently, namely in a residential setting rather than a simple exhibition. Through carefully shaped environments and thoughtful collaborations, Spaceless Gallery continues to dissolve boundaries between exhibition and home. They show that design and contemporary art can be combined to create a more interactive and original exhibition.
