Flat Time House, Art gallery and residence in Peckham, England
Flat Time House is an art gallery and residence in Peckham featuring a striking glass facade with a mounted book titled 'How the Univoice is Still Unheard'. The interior spans multiple levels with diverse exhibition areas, blending the functions of a working studio and display space.
British artist John Latham converted this property into his studio in 2003, declaring it a living sculpture. The space became a public gallery in 2008, preserving his artistic vision.
Rooms throughout the building correspond to human body parts, with the kitchen representing internal organs and exhibition spaces linked to mental processes. This unusual layout shapes how visitors move and experience each area.
The gallery is open Thursday through Sunday from noon to 6 PM, and additional visits can be arranged by appointment. The location on Bellenden Road is easily reached on foot from nearby bus stops.
The building itself functions as an artwork, not merely a container for art. John Latham embedded his personal theory about language and the universe directly into the spatial design.
