For this fourth exhibition in the Lodger series, artist Gabriella Boyd has created a new series of paintings called Help Yourself, in which dream logic appears to dominate, and the atmosphere is suffused with both eroticism and threat. Caught between fretful urgency and an odd, immobilising calm, these canvases feel like glimpses into a sideways dimension, where […]
Dutch artist Magali Reus’s first major solo exhibition in London comprises an entirely new body of work, As Mist, Description, framed by architectural interventions designed specifically for the South London Gallery’s main space.

Landscape and our relationship to it, both individually and through our collective history is the basis of Jo Naden' s practice. Inspired by the rugged stoney quality of the interior of the Sculpture Space and its location on the western seaboard of Wales, itself a landscape abundant with evidence of our own prehistory, Jo has created […]

She lived an intensely examined life, expressed in her numerous selfportraits, diaries and correspondence; at the core of this existence was her work as an artist and […]

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, […]

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 […]

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’.
