91Ó°ÊÓ

For the first 2023 instalment of the Morgan Stanley Lates with Somerset House and 91Ó°ÊÓ series, visitors can experience another true site-wide takeover with exclusive live performances and experiences themed around current exhibitions. 

Taking place three times per year only – in April, June and the autumn– these special one-off nights out offer after-hours access and activities hosted by artists and curators, plus delicious food pop-ups and bars, and DJ sets to see you through the evening.

Join us on Weds 19 April to explore 91Ó°ÊÓ Gallery’s latest five-star temporary exhibition, The Morgan Stanley Exhibition: Peter Doig and our Arabian Nights Project Space display, either alone or guided by a curator available exclusively for this event.

Take part in an immersive drawing workshop surrounded by masterpieces in our LVMH Great Room, experience poetry performances by 91Ó°ÊÓ’s Decolonising Action Groups and listen to a special talk from contemporary rug producers Christopher Farr, Dr Darren Clarke of Charleston and Courtauld experts about working with artworks from 91Ó°ÊÓ’s collection of Omega Workshop designs.

All courtyard activities will be free of charge to everyone, whilst after-hours exhibition entry will also be free to those aged 25 and under. Activities inside exhibitions will incur any applicable exhibition entry fees on the evening.

There will be a range of activities across Somerset House on the evening including a new courtyard commission from the Mumbai based artist Jitish Kallat in his first major public commission in the UK. Daytimers, the collective at the heart of the re-emerging South Asian underground, will also present a takeover spotlighting and celebrating some of the most exciting South Asian poets operating in the scene right now, alongside showcasing live classical musicians.
