Previously, The Vinyl Factory has presented solo exhibitions by Ragnar Kjartansson, Ryoji Ikeda, Carsten Nicolai and Richard Mosse, and group exhibitions with Lazarides,[8] and The Moving Museum as well as celebrations of the vinyl aesthetic of Kraftwerk, David Bowie and Punk.

In 2013 The Vinyl Factory also partnered with the British Council to host the opening party for Jeremy Deller at the Venice Biennale[9] and presented Dinos Chapman's first live music show at Sónar and subsequently during Frieze Art Fair in London.

In 2017, The Vinyl Factory initiated VF Commissions, a new venture producing and collaborating with artists to create new site specific works.

The first of these were Kahlil Joseph's Fly Paper, which opened at the New Museum in New York in September 2017, and Ryoji Ikeda's test pattern (no.12) which premiered at Store Studios, 180 The Strand, from October to December 2017, attracting over 100,000 visitors.
