Hayley Arjona presents a series of paintings and small sculptures that relate with one another within a looping narrative. The sculptures appear as characters that have stepped out of the paintings into a performative drama where fantasy, neurosis and horror reign.

Lisa Anderson’s exhibition Beguiling presents a poetic and performative investigation into the current climate catastrophe that humankind faces right here, right now. Like all good stories it is multilayered and nuanced: photographs and videos documenting actions, figures ghosting the landscape, words floating across screens, huge icebergs melting into the sea. Each visitor will take away haunting visual images and prose that will resonate in their memories and will be difficult to shake off.

and the Art of David Rosetzky
In a time of cultural anxiety, David Rosetzky creates entrusted spaces by establishing relationships between himself and others, initiated through conversations he has with the people who appear in his works. He does this with a professional eye that speaks to art history and concepts such as modernism/post-modernism, gender difference and performativity while maintaining a minimal aesthetic that is inclusive and multi-dimensional, often involving collaborations with other artists and professionals. A Rosetzky performance, video, installation work might include dancers, choreographers, dramaturges, designers and actors, as well as people who have no experience in the arts at all.
