The Alter Space © 2023.
The Alter Space began their journey in 2023 with a simple but ambitious vision: to reshape the European art scene by opening doors to exciting contemporary voices from around the world, with a special focus on the vibrant and often underrepresented artists of Asia.
In just two years, we have curated exhibitions that cross time and borders — from manuscripts created half a century ago to contemporary works crafted exclusively for our shows. We embrace diversity in every form, whether conceptual or figurative, delicate or daring. Each exhibition becomes a dialogue between cultures, ideas, and generations, sparking conversations that linger long after the gallery lights dim.
Our programs have been embraced by both local communities and international visitors, many encountering works they had never seen before in Europe. For us, this is the true magic of The Alter Space: becoming a window to new perspectives, and a bridge that connects artists with audiences eager for discovery.
We have recently relocated to an even more vibrant neighborhood with greater foot traffic. Positioned along the route from the train station to the heart of Brick Lane, The Alter Space now welcomes a steady stream of visitors — from curious locals to art enthusiasts traveling from around the world.
Nestled amidst the creative streets of Shoreditch, East London, The Alter Space thrives in a neighborhood renowned for its art, culture, nightlife, and culinary diversity.
Our close proximity to Brick Lane allows us to tap into the area’s existing artistic energy, attracting both seasoned collectors and curious passersby who are already drawn to its cultural richness. This strategic location not only enhances our visibility but also ensures that our exhibitions and art store are accessible to a wide and diverse audience.
With its vibrant atmosphere and creative spirit, Shoreditch makes The Alter Space a must-visit destination for anyone seeking to experience the pulse of London’s contemporary art scene.
The exhibition space is divided into two sections: the ground floor and the lower level (expected to be completed by the end of the year).
The ground floor focuses primarily on art-related merchandise, which helps attract visitors. At the same time, if the number of artworks on display is limited or if they are large in size, one of the walls on the ground floor can be used for showcasing.
For a more complete exhibition experience, the display can also extend to the lower level, where visitors can enjoy the artworks in a quieter and more enclosed environment.
