Gallery Rosenfeld presents Not a House but a Memory, a group exhibition featuring nine artists: Rebekka Hommann, Anna Pakosz, Lanfranco Quadrio, Sam Llewellyn-Jones, Araminta Blue, Bongsu Park, Maya Silverberg, Martina Cinotti, and Li Ramet. This show brings together artists represented by the gallery alongside emerging voices working across London and Europe. The exhibition reflects gallery rosenfeld’s commitment to long-term collaboration, supporting artists both new to the gallery and those already part of its programme.
Not a House but a Memory invites viewers to think of the home not simply as a physical place but as a feeling, a container of personal and shared history. The works in the show speak to how we carry our pasts through materials, gestures, and forms. In this way, the exhibition also reflects the spirit of Gallery Rosenfeld itself, not just as a gallery, but as a kind of home for artists. A space where ideas are exchanged, relationships are built, and creative journeys unfold together.
Inspired by Gaston Bachelard’s ‘The Poetics of Space’, Not a House but a Memory explores how domestic space holds memory, identity, and emotional inheritance. Bachelard writes, “The house protects the dreamer. The house allows one to dream in peace.” Here, the house is not a fixed or stable place. It is open and fluid, filled with feelings of care, absence, and remembrance.
Materiality is central to the works on show. Each artist uses physical materials to evoke memory and personal experience, reflecting on the histories that shape how we live and feel at home.
