Overview

Curated by Karen Tronel. Chasing Elsewhere explores the pursuit of Elsewhere or Otherness that to some extent drives us all

With: Harry Adams: (Adam Wood and Steve Lowe), Kate Burling, Billy Childish, Peter Doig, Huddie Hamper, Heckel's Horse: (Billy Childish and Edgeworth Johnstone), Gavin Lockheart, Marco Piemonte, Emily Platzer, Victor Puš-Perchaud, Yuma Radne, Alfie Rouy, Karen Tronel,  Gavin Turk

The theme reflects a perpetual desire for movement or change. This may stem from restlessness, or a need to escape current circumstances, leave a geographical location or simply get away from oneself in some manner, or may be inspired more positively by the endless draw of the new, the unknown - a thirst for discovery, change, self-fulfilment and new or altered realms. 

The works in the show will touch on transformation, dreamscapes, an opening or route into the next Elsewhere, be this a physical place or an imagined one.
