For Tate Britain’s exhibition programme, Studio858 was invited to transform a space within the gallery. Instead of going outward, we went inward. The brief we wrote? Simple. In My Room.

We recreated Farouk858’s actual bedroom as a fully immersive installation. Not a set, not a concept, but the real thing. Visitors could walk around the space, touch the objects, take in the textures, and step into the creative mind of Studio858. It wasn’t just an exhibition. It was a living, breathing room filled with ideas, experiments, unfinished thoughts and honest inspiration.

It also became the stage for 28 3D artworks created by members of 858 Art Club, each responding to the same prompt, In My Room. One room. Dozens of perspectives.














challenge


Bring something deeply personal into a public space without losing its intimacy. We weren’t just building a set. We were inviting people into a sanctuary. A space where ideas begin, where mistakes happen, where things are made and remade.

We also needed to integrate the work of 28 emerging digital artists and make it feel like a natural part of the room, rather than a separate gallery feature. It had to feel cohesive, raw, and honest.
