The exhibition format Krauss and Brooks adopted was loose, with no set open hours, no compensation for staff, no entry charge, and no censorship of artists.
Within this framework, Gallery House staged exhibitions that gained critical attention, including some of the earliest recorded shows of ‘expanded cinema’, new film, and video work.
Among them were Brooks' ambitious, influential three-part Survey of the Avant-Garde in Britain[3][4] which included British video artist David Hall's first multiscreen installation,[5] and Marc Camille Chaimowicz' career-making Celebration?
Realife, in which the artist filled the House's ballroom with party lights, disco detritus, and found objects, invited viewers to discuss the work over coffee in the adjacent gallery, and slept in the building at night for the exhibition's duration.
