What’s coming in 2024

Chosen Terrain

13 January – 13 April  

Cornwall-based artists Neil Canning and Mark Surridge have been taking walks together andsharing their views on the changing landscape for over twenty years.  This thought-provoking exhibition features new abstract paintings by both artists, and a commissioned film by Rachael Jones, that celebrate their joint interest in the Cornish landscape and the concerns they have with the environment and climate change.   

Walking Women

1 March – 27 April

A visual conversation between nine female artists brought together by a collective love of walking in Cornwall. Walking is either part of their creative practice, or an element of their daily lives that strongly influences their work.  The conversation grew from an attempt by Carys Wilson to walk The Southwest Coast Path in its entirety in the summer of 2023. She wanted to explore how walking for eight consecutive weeks would impact her visual practice, visually research how she could document her walks in a different way and record her own specifically female response to walking the land she inhabits. This opened a dialogue with eight other female artists, reflecting upon how walking is elemental in their own visual or written practices.
