What's On

Autumn exhibition
5 Oct - 15 Dec 2024

An enormous standing art piece, which nearly reaches the ceiling beams, with two tails which sweep across half of the upper gallery. It consists nearly entirely of caramel-coloured terracotta and clay chains, with black, white and orange chains thrown in.

Chiara Camoni
murmur, buzz, hiss and rub

Explore our autumn exhibition by Italian artist Chiara Camoni, which brings together over 20 works by Chiara, from the monumental to the tiny.

Workshop
Saturday 7 December 2024

A pair of hand-sculpted clay vases, roughly the size of wide water bottles, with abstract, animalistic headpieces. The vases hold feathery strands of flowers’ ash which stand taller than the headpieces. The left headpiece resembles barnacles and molluscs, while the right resembles seahorses, however the many eyes which peer out from both sculptures make it difficult to form a single interpretation.

Summer exhibition
Aslı Çavuşoğlu

3 large textile works in natural tones are displayed in the corner of a white room with a window and a concrete floor. Two works are hung on the walls - the one on the left wall is about the size of a double bedsheet, and is draped and attached with strings, like an awning. The one on the right wall is about the size of a bathroom towel and is attached to wooden bars at the top and bottom edges, so that it sits forward from the wall with tassels hanging down below. The third work resembles the size of an ironing board, and made up of a long, thin rectangular piece embroidered with various colours and patterns, which is displayed horizontally on a free standing wooden frame.

A large, flat-topped brown mushroom is held up to the camera. It has a distinctive tree-ring-like pattern, and ranges in colouring from a caramel-colour to a deep rich brown. It is a little larger than the hand presenting it.
