Fancy a bit of speed dating & a turn about the floor? Or hula hooping & fencing for pensioners? Or just head down to one of their many classes, workshops & events, all within the transformed gallery.

Until 30th July.

Former Midland / HSBC Bank and Hauser & Wirth’s Piccadilly gallery is currently being transformed into a fully functioning Community Centre. The centre is an immaculately detailed installation by Swiss provocateur Christoph Büchel, who has transformed the Hauser & Wirth gallery's HQ. It will host a wide range of classes, workshops and events. Facilities will include among other things multifunctional spaces, a computer room, a non-denominational prayer room, an activity room, a community canteen, a community bar and club. Outside in the market in front of St James’ Church, the Community Centre will run a stall. There will be a daily schedule of classes and events, which will run until Saturday 30 July.
