Coming soon: ‘Me Myself and I’

27 February – 10 June 2020

About the exhibition:

‘Me Myself and I’ is an exhibition investigating artists’ self-enquiry and expressions of the interior self. Works speak to a range of lived experiences recalling personal and political struggles, family relationships and memories of childhood. Across painting, drawing, photography and assemblage the show reflects on themes of freedom and solitude, collectivity and belonging, disenfranchisement and loss. In liminal spaces between fact and fiction, the fantastical and the everyday, twenty artists grapple with – and celebrate – the complexities of identity, selfhood and finding one’s place in the world.

Featured artists:

Broughton Birnie, Paul Benjamins, Georgina Clapham, Nathan Eastwood, Margarita Gluzberg, Ken Kiff, Aya Haidar, Will Harman, Marie Harnett, Laura Hudson, Marion Michell, Eleanor Moreton, Kate Murdoch, Manon Ouimet, Sikelele Owen, Conor Rogers, Linnet Rubaya, Wendy Saunders, Charmaine Watkiss, Erika Winstone.
