“With the need for music appreciated as never before, in these challenging times we are delighted to be able to host an exhibition exploring this genre,” curator Gemma Curtin told British media. “London will not stop dancing.”

“Design is an essential element enhancing the experience of our live show,” said The Chemical Brothers. “This new installation will give insight into how we work with Adam & Marcus (Smith & Lyall) on the visual aspect of our tours.”

Though London is still taking precautions and has not escaped the pandemic unscathed, the event is taking a series of precautions. There will be a reduced capacity, mandatory masks, social distancing and regular sanitization of the facility.
