Kit Poulson’s practice meanders back and forth from painting, paying visits to installation, video and performance making, via writing fiction, to explore parallels and connections between materiality, imagery and thought.
This exhibition will include a series of new paintings using oil and egg tempera, accompanied by a parallel set of short fictions. The exhibition stems from the artist’s fascination with the aftermath of the vision. What is left when the revelation recedes and the consciousness remains firmly rooted in the mundane. How things are accommodated into the world and...

i am algorithm continues Charlie Tweed’s exploration of the human desire to control and systematise the natural world, and how new technologies have instilled a complex form of social control over populations in both the physical and virtual sphere.

It is uncertain whether the places or events depicted occur in the past, present or future, or in some kind of parallel existence. He exposes the physicality and...
This summer Miracle Theatre demonstrates why Waiting for Godot, once famously described as a play in which ‘nothing happens, twice’, is one of the most profound, moving and funny plays ever written. Both deadly serious and seriously funny, Beckett’s timeless masterpiece explores what makes us tick with clarity, dramatic force and genuine humour.
Waiting for Godot is an absurdist play by Samuel Beckett that centers on a pair of vagrant men, Vladimir and Estragon, and their efforts to divert themselves while waiting, on a vague pretense, for the arrival of a man named Godot: whom...

Over the last 25 years, The Orb has charted one of the most idiosyncratic paths in music, notching up hit singles and albums, sellout shows all over the world and an impressive string of collaborations, most recently reggae legend Lee Perry on More Orbservations From The Starhouse.
