Somerset House to mark 25 years as a public space with weekend of free events

Somerset House, a central London center for contemporary art and innovation, will host a free weekend of interactive events on September 13-14 to celebrate 25 years as a public space. The Step Inside 25 Weekend will feature installations by Turner Prize-winning artist Tai Shani, musician Gaika, and sound artist Nick Ryan, alongside works from the inaugural Talent 25 awardees—a new mentorship program led by artist Yinka Ilori. The event will open rarely accessible areas like the Deadhouse subterranean spaces and the Portico Rooms.
