Join us for a special event celebrating the current exhibition of renowned contemporary artist Pat Brassington. Rex Butler will provide a brief presentation on Brassington’s work, asking, how might we think of her work in relation to Man Ray's Le violon d'Ingres (1924), for example, which was made exactly 100 years ago? Following this, there will be a conversation with writer and curator Chelsea Hopper, moderated by art historian Victoria Perin.

PRUE STENT & HONEY LONG solo exhibition now on display in Sliema, Malta

HYGRO, the latest solo exhibition from PRUE STENT & HONEY LONG is currently on display in Sliema, Malta.

”In ancient Greece the female body was defined by excessive moisture and deemed less articulated than it’s idealised male counterpart. To participate in wetness was to be more porous to the world and the processes of life at the cost of form. But liquidity is inescapable and in its very nature uncontainable, it eventually seeps and penetrates even the most polished and disciplined of structures.”
