The Residence exhibits contemporary fine art, old money and critically acclaimed “polysexual - music - art - it - crowd” atmosphere. Originating as an idea for a palatial d.i.y. museum in an abandoned Whitechapel Victorian mental hospital, it officially opened with over 100 exhibitions in a former shop premesis during 2005.
Then came its covert takeover of The Verger’s Cottage (St. Mary of Eton Church), haunted home to gallery director/artist Ingrid Z. The Residence is now establishing itself firmly in the Hackney gentry of Victoria Park Village and has expanded to include private accommodation specially catering to Art Tourists.

The gallery is a live structure to be experienced as a whole scenario or in its individual objects d’art. In addition, the boutique boasts an interesting array of artist multiples, limited edition publications, curiosities and old pennies.
