Join us on Tuesday 26 March from 6pm until 9pm for the preview of our next exhibition, Bernadette Corporation: 2000 Wasted Years.

2000 Wasted Years is the first UK retrospective by the New York based Bernadette Corporation. Across their twenty-year history and mutable membership there runs a thread of anonymity and opacity, the rejection of normative social forms and appellations such as being an artist, or a political activist. The exhibition recasts the works authored by the influential and illusive group since their inception in the early ’90s.

Also opening is The Independent Group: Parallel of Art & Life, an exhibition presenting original artworks by the Independent Group to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the ground-breaking exhibition Parallel of Life & Art.

We hope to see you there.
