PAST EXHIBITIONS
IT WAS THE TOUCH,
THAT’S ALL IT WAS
‘It was the touch, that’s all it was’, the first UK solo exhibition of Swedish painter Lisa Liljeström, curated by Elaine ML Tam. The exhibition explores touch and memory through Liljeström’s airbrush techniques. Her monochromatic paintings, derived from digital archives, evoke fleeting presence and narrative suspense, celebrating overlooked details and challenging idealised memories.
APPROXIMATIONS BY BELGRADE RAW
Approximation, meaning 'to come near,' refers to the admission of imprecision and the challenge of fully describing something, as explored in Belgrade Raw's exhibition "Approximations" which highlights the imperfect, fragmentary nature of photographic representation and urban life.
THE PAINT CANNON
This unique event included 3 nights of live performances and closing party showcasing an innovative painting technique using pressurized air and a paint cannon, developed in Paris.The artists utilize recycled materials to create vibrant, large-scale paintings that explore the concept of ‘trace’, reflecting marks or indicators of existence or events, emphasising the transient nature of the artwork and inviting subjective interpretations from viewers.
GIRLCHILD
The 'girlchild' in Helen Stiasny's exhibition represents a complex symbol of feminism, victim of misogyny, cultural construct, and gender dysphoria, characterised by infinite forms and an elusive, impossible youth. She transcends fixed archetypes, embodying unfulfilled desires and innocence turned perverse. This concept reflects cultural standards, aesthetics, and idealizations, most notable in its absence or transgression, challenging perceptions of perfection.
FULLY DETACHED
The exhibition "Fully Detached" highlights the current urban condition and the shared feeling of displacement. Sebastian Koseda employs graphic design and sculpture to critique corporate visual communication methods. The artworks scrutinize how these tools contribute to maintaining cities as unsettling environments.
THE UNWRITTEN SCRIPT
‘The Unwritten Script’ is a group show of painting and sculpture by five emerging artists, exploring the moment before an image or sensation becomes conscious thought. Embracing the ‘unscripted,’ the works delve into phantasy, destabilisation, and visual slippage, often reflecting a yearning for organic, pre-formed states. The exhibition challenges fixed interpretations, celebrating gestation, transformation, and mutation.
