Rivington Place

Rivington Place is a purpose-built international visual arts centre in Shoreditch, London.

In the late 20th century, this part of the East End emerged as a new arts quarter, famous for harbouring the Young British Artists (YBA) movement, with leading private galleries such as White Cube in nearby Hoxton Square.

Both Iniva and Autograph were founded to reflect and promote cultural diversity in the visual arts, and it was hoped that the new building would advance this aim.

The five-storey building was designed by leading architect David Adjaye and opened to the public on 5 October 2007.

Featuring in the programme of exhibitions held in the building have been shows by Ghanaian photojournalist James Barnor, British sculptor Hew Locke, French film maker Zineb Sedira and Nigerian/British fine-art photographer Rotimi Fani-Kayode.
