Flat Time House, John Latham's London studio, to close in 2016 after funding shortfall

Flat Time House, the south London studio and home of British artist John Latham, will close in 2016 due to an inability to raise over £1 million to purchase the property. The Latham family announced in 2013 they could no longer support the project and needed to sell the house, as reported by The Art Newspaper. Located at 210 Bellenden Road in Peckham, the three-storey terraced house opened in October 2008, two years after Latham's death at age 84. Painted grey and white, it features a large shop window with two giant replica books protruding horizontally from the glass. The venue hosts exhibitions, artist residencies, and events exploring Latham's practice and theories, and houses the John Latham archive. Latham had declared the space a living sculpture, but financial challenges have led to its impending closure.
