Rachel Kneebone is widely acclaimed for her complex porcelain sculptures that express physical metamorphosis and movement. For her first solo exhibition in the North of England, The Dance Project she premieres a new series of sculptures and drawings that deepen her investigations into the experience of inhabiting the body. The exhibition is accompanied by a […]

The profound and enduring power of both Britten’s music and the architecture of Libeskind’s room (which the Dovecote at Snape Maltings closely resembles) are important factors in Maggi Hambling's installation War Requiem. The paintings of victims and battlefields are my own response to the horror, destruction and futility of war.’

Medium of Exchange, is Sheida Soleimani’s latest body of work.   She charts a fragmented history of the relationship between OPEC nations and western political powers since the 1960s, when the organisation was formed, highlighting the correlation between sovereign oil wealth and civil rights abuse. The exhibition combines photographic tableaus with a scripted film. The freestanding photographs […]

In this exhibition, Tall Tales, Fall Tails, Miriam Naeh continues her exploration into the phenomenology of absurd through a careful and deliberate infusion of static sculpture and theatrical performance. In this scene of what might be called a “liar’s paradise” of outmost strangers, her organically worm like statues are not just the entertaining grotesque images perceived at first glance, […]

till I Rise: feminisms, gender, resistance, Act I, is a timely exhibition exploring the history of resistance and alternative forms of living from the perspective of gender. This major group exhibition looks at the many forms resistance can take: from intimate acts to large-scale uprisings, from the late 19th century to the present and beyond. Still I […]

The exhibition, Banger, highlights Emma Hart’s work with ceramics, a material she turned to in order to find the ‘real’ in art: ‘clay can be an exciting way to talk about chaos … what is immediately important is how personal it is. There’s a very raw direct relationship between the clay and my hands’. This […]

Collecting Colour is the first solo exhibition by Nina Murdoch in four years. During this time she has simplified her subject matter, concentrating on her technique to allow the paint to assume greater importance. She has produced monumental paintings with a depth and quality that resonate light and atmosphere in dramatic and hypnotic visions. The […]

Thirteen artists show new work, inspired by the historic Church of St John on Bethnal Green, a grade-one listed church designed by Sir John Soane. The coming into being of something; the origin. Energy, industrial light, magic, the unexplainable.  Artists include: Cleo Broda, Sinéid Codd, JMC Hayes, Soa J Hwang, Evy Jokhova, Anne Krinsky, Eva […]

In Ilse D’Hollander’s (1968–1997) work, the focus is on the rich dialogue between abstraction and representation, giving special attention to the ways in which she coaxed evocations of place, light and weather into her modestly-scaled canvases and works on cardboard. D’Hollander’s paintings are seldom straight forward landscapes. Instead, drawing the viewer in, her work reveals […]

Joy Labinjo’s large-scale paintings depict intimate, contemporary scenes of family life: a group of people casually lying down on a sofa and chatting after a family gathering, a child and his grand-mother posing together in front of the camera, or stolen moments before the official wedding portrait. Her work expands on her British-Nigerian heritage and […]

Proudick is the first collaborative exhibition of artists and friends Paloma Proudfoot and Lindsey Mendick. Drawing from the tradition of celebrity-couple portmanteaus, the artists have rebranded themselves as Proudick for the duration of the exhibition. Like the personal lives of Kimye, Brangelina and Bennifer, Proudick will offer up their private lives as tabloid fodder through still-life […]

Karin Ruggaber says, "Bottom of the Lake is an ongoing project or work about the suburb of  Yesilyurt that  she has been working on for seven or eight years, which has something to do with recording the area. It is how I look at something that’s beyond what I’m directly making. These projects aren’t necessarily anything concrete […]

Making it up, is an exhibition of new work by Alison Britton.  In it table and wall pieces on a variety of scales feature, as well as unexpected versions of Britton’s graspable handles. ‘Small’ appears more beautiful to her than before. Recent table-based pots have a horizontal reach, giving them a wide and embracing presence. The […]

Bara Birnbaum’s practice is concerned with the lexicon of broadcasting and communication, and the way ‘truths’ are delivered to the viewer.  As an early proponent of video art, Birnbaum began by isolating imagery from television, re-contextualising it in an attempt to understand its true meaning. For the first time since her major 2009/2010 travelling retrospective, The Dark Matter of […]

Stalking the Image is a celebration of the life, work and legacy of the pioneering Orcadian filmmaker, painter and poet, Margaret Tait (1918–99). Tait is one of the most visionary and stridently independent filmmakers to have emerged from Scotland, yet her work has until recently remained relatively unknown and its significance undervalued.

Featuring large-scale dynamic sound sculpture, film and wall-based works and a specially commissioned performance, GUSH is a candid and personal exploration of mental and emotional health in our contemporary, hyper-networked society by British artist Hannah Perry in her first major solo exhibition in the UK outside London.
