Solo Show by Adam Neal our Graduate Artist-In-Residence.   Having spent his formative years living in the residential area of Northfield, Birmingham, Adam has witnessed first hand the changing face of industry and the way in which this has altered social class categorisations within the U.K. The intricacies of his surroundings have manifested themselves within his practice. Growing up in a traditional ‘working-class’ family, Adam has been able to witness specific changes and how the ‘working-class’ has adapted to contemporary…

Solo show by Helen Kilby Nelson our Graduate Artist-In-Residence. ‘Thirty Two Brains’ is a body of work influenced by semiotics, and an exploration of language that is familiar and normalised, creating micro hierarchies within contemporary society. Focusing on the stigma associated with residents of social housing in the UK, it is a critical reflection of lived and researched experiences in an era of poverty porn. Semiotics and visual aesthetics are juxtaposed with the harsh reality of living with stigma. Helen…

Theo Wright is a weaver and textile artist based in Coventry, inspired by ideas in mathematics and science.

8th - 17th April Available to view from the shopfront gallery window 10am - 4pm daily. This new body of work brings together fragmentary thought of oscillating states, questioning how we can facilitate wider conversations of soft language, and inconspicuousness. The exhibition will question the ecology of wet compositions, thinking through systems of being, and transitional spaces, acknowledging the poetics of emancipatory thought, and unknowns. This exhibition acts as a garden where pre-existing structures, co-existence, and new formulations come together…
