‘Ordinary monuments’ brings together work by Jorn Ebner and Alison Unsworth that examines the urban environment, considering both its planned and random nature and highlighting aspects that often go unnoticed.
Miranda Whall's drawings, photographs, videos and, most recently, animations are self-portraits. Whall explores her own identity in an attempt to recognise herself in relation to both the accessible and inaccessible, natural and man-made world around her. Through placing herself at the centre of both fictional worlds and real life situations she is able to make assumptions about what she might or might not be. The placement can seem at times inappropriate, awkward, humorous and erotic.

‘Orphan’ comprises the work of three artists who deal with depictions of the once removed and the disconnected via representations of people, objects and symbols, all of which in some way disturb established orders – be they psychological, domestic or social.

‘Yes No’ brings together two artists who both take elements of the mundane and everyday life and transform them through their different working processes. Adding to or subtracting from layers of materials or meaning, they share an interest in unsettling visual narratives and confounding initial readings. Stylistic trademarks of formalism are modified, ‘the original’ and ‘the pure’ stripped of easily read meanings.
nextA series of curated exhibitions, often involving working with invited national and international partner curators or galleries.
