In celebrating women artists working around 1918, this exhibition, ‘The Turn of Women Artists 1837- 2018', is set against the background of a contemporary feminism that pays homage to the pioneering women who fought for equality in the hundred years before 1918, and recognises how their fight has shaped the way women artists live and […]
As part of History Painting, Rose Wylie presents a cycle of new work about the Mayflower voyage, made between 2015-2017 for this exhibition.

Acclaimed installation and performance artist Chiharu Shiota creates an awe-inspiring, site-specific installation of thread within the beautiful 18th-century Chapel. Called Beyond Time, this work for YSP responds to and activates the unique architecture and heritage of the Chapel. Exemplary of her work’s resonance with memory and human relationships through the use of objects, the installation interlaces the physical […]
Elaine Duigenan is a photographic artist, whose work takes a close look at objects as in her current exhibition Blossfeldt's Apprentice. Things are never quite what they seem and her work is pared down to find singular beauty. Pale specimens glow in inky black spaces and appear to hang by a thread. There is strength and fragility, […]

A collection of disrupted examples of tourist culture – such as souvenirs, photographs and postcards – that challenge our long-established ideals of the holiday to produce ulterior messages. The relationship between found ephemera and the narrative that is bestowed upon these items by a viewer encapsulates Molly Rooke's practice. Interested in collections of tourist culture […]
The exhibition From the Same Source I have not Taken, centres around faith, trust, coercion and the gap between real experience and artificial effect, and whether the constructed collective experience can be as meaningful as a genuine encounter.
The exhibition is a collection of works by women called Women Can't Paint.
Pregnancy is one of the most extreme states of the human condition, according to art theorist Amelia Jones, as it reveals the ‘tension between self as subject and self as object’. The final display from the ISelf Collection takes its title from Paloma Varga Weisz’s ambiguously gendered pregnant figure, Bumped Body, reflecting on shifting concepts of selfhood. 23 […]

Sarah Naim’s first solo show, Reactions, follows on from her participation in Secular Icons in an Age of Moral Uncertainty in 2017. Naim is known primarily as a photographic artist but in fact makes much of her work using a Transmission Electronic Microscope, Scanning Electron Microscope and a high-resolution Flatbed Scanner. Using these hi-tech tools Naim creates seemingly abstract […]
The Gallery presents an international, cross-generational exhibition, which is a celebration of women artists who have shaped and transformed, and continue to influence and expand, the language and definition of abstract painting. Surface Work takes its title from a quote by the Abstract Expressionist painter Joan Mitchell, who said: ‘Abstract is not a style. I […]

Using the digital darkroom, Sherwood opens up the shells’ potential to show that there’s more to these small objects than meets the eye. By using this technique she exposes the […]
American-born artist Nancy Fouts is best known for her distinctive sculptural works, which reconfigure commonplace objects and materials with a characteristically playful and provocative humour. Combining Surrealism, Dada and Pop Art, her work brings together seemingly disconnected objects and ideas to revel in the inherent strangeness of the everyday. This exhibition, Down the Rabbit Hole, addresses the recurring […]

Close Quarters is a new body of work by London based artist Hanae Wilke. Informed by her surroundings and starting with an observation, Wilke constructs sculptures and installations from industrial […]
