In July 2024, Grove Gallery proudly continued its gallery in residence partnership with Dorset Hospitality London, presenting Society Falling by Zen Xander as part of the fourth installment of this prestigious collaboration. Held at Dorset’s luxurious venue in Shepherd’s Bush, the exhibition marked a continuation of Xander’s Society Falling series, which originally debuted at Grove Gallery in June. The pieces, now adorning the restaurant, bar, and main lobby of the hotel, provided guests with a powerful and immersive experience that extended beyond the gallery walls.

The partnership between Grove Gallery and Dorset Hospitality has been a cornerstone of both brands for over a year. With quarterly exhibition launch nights, Grove Gallery has brought contemporary art to life within Dorset’s opulent spaces, enhancing the guest experience at every level. Dorset Hospitality, a global company with an extensive portfolio of hotels, restaurants, and bars across major cities worldwide—particularly within the APAC region—has consistently offered the perfect platform for Grove Gallery to showcase its artists in prime locations.

Society Falling by Zen Xander captivated attendees with its raw emotional power, continuing the thought-provoking narrative that began at Grove Gallery. Xander’s works, with their deep social commentary and striking visuals, created an atmosphere that perfectly complemented Dorset’s sophisticated environment. The launch night was a celebration of both art and luxury, as guests were treated to an evening of creativity and elegance in one of London’s most distinguished hospitality venues.

This ongoing partnership between Grove Gallery and Dorset Hospitality underscores our commitment to bringing contemporary art to new and exciting spaces around the world. As the gallery in residence, we look forward to future exhibitions that will continue to elevate both brands and provide unforgettable experiences for art lovers and hotel guests alike.
