possible?

We know the depth of the UK art scene. To pretend a small show in London is going to be anything dramatically new is ridiculous. But, we want to take the creations that bring us joy or evoke emotions made in the midst of this political s***show across Europe.

To do that, we first want to find those who want to come with us.

We have negotiated links with galleries across Europe and have agreed spaces for the coming year. We want to find a core group of artists to take with us. We are ambitious and want to create a movement that stands at odds with the negativity surrounding current politics.

Great Art does not have to be political

Great art doesn’t even have to be visually spectacular. Duschamps proved that. Doris Salcedo proved that. Martin Creed too.

And the reactions to a life changing piece can be just as subtle:

A smile

A knowing nod

A quiet tut

We want artworks of any medium, whether it be dance, jewellery, sculpture, performance art, video, VR, AR, photography, painting or printing. There are no limitations - with the space picked specially to provide an open platform for unusual interactions between the pieces.

We have performers booked for the opening night, with a private view and showcases planned for every artist accepted.
