SØREN RYE: INTERIORS WITHOUT BEDS

5 June–14 June Open by appointment

Opening event: Thursday 4 June 6–9pm

Talk 7–7.45pm, Søren Rye in conversation with Prof. Paul Taylor (Warburg Institute) on absence and iconography

Interiors without beds is an exhibition developed by Søren Rye over a 6-month residency at Flat Time House. During his residency Rye continued ongoing research at the Photographic Collection at the Warburg Institute on the relationship between artworks and their photographic reproduction. Within the collection, organised according to iconographic themes rather than artists or periods, ‘Interiors – Without beds’ is a sub-categorisation of the iconographic category ‘Social Life’. To mark the conclusion of his residency, Søren Rye will be in conversation with Paul Taylor, the curator of the Photographic Collection at the Warburg Institute and a leading scholar of early modern art.

DANA MUNRO: Change, man

26 June–1 August 2026 Preview: Thursday 25 June 6–8pm

Change, man is a first UK institutional solo exhibition by London-based artist Dana Munro. Presenting interrelated bodies of work that have grown over a decade of practice, Change, man brings together photography, video, painting and song through the spaces of Flat Time House. Munro was a long-term lodger and artist-in-residence at Flat Time House between 2021–22 and, for the first time, Flat Time House’s artist residency space, the former bedroom of John Latham, will be open as part of the exhibition. Reflecting on the embedding of artistic practice within the constraints of everyday life, Munro uses repeated motifs and lyrical refrains to reference socio-political subtexts within the domestic realm.

Søren Rye Residency Announcement

Winter–Spring 2026

Flat Time House's current artist-in-residence is Søren Rye. Søren will spend his time at FTHo working in the studio and exploring the archive, while continuing ongoing research at the Warburg Institute on the relationship between artworks and their photographic reproduction. He is particularly interested in what photographic documentation cannot convey, and how this absence creates space for projection and narrative. Søren will move between the Warburg Institute and Flat Time House, both organisations sharing a commitment to experimentation, though they work with knowledge through different traditions.

About

Flat Time House (FTHo) was the studio home of John Latham (1921-2006), recognised as one of the most significant and influential British post-war artists. In 2003, Latham declared the house a living sculpture, naming it FTHo after his theory of time, ‘Flat Time’. Until his death, Latham opened his door to anyone interested in thinking about art. It is in this spirit that Flat Time House opened in 2008 as a gallery with a programme of exhibitions and events exploring the artist's practice, his theoretical ideas and their continued relevance. It also provides a centre for alternative learning, which includes the John Latham archive, and an artist's residency space.

Open by appointment at other times. To view work by John Latham or to visit the John Latham Archive between exhibitions and events, please email [email protected] or call 02072074845 to arrange an appointment.
