Through investigations into digital telepathic infrastructure such as The Internet of Everything (the aim to automate all human processes), and current developments in Brain Computer Interfaces, Drinkall and her fellow artists explore the differences between 'regenerative' and ‘extractive' forms of telepathy.

Jones' art created during the lockdown was shaped by their dedication to the creative process and exploration of paint. The symbol of the Roman Emperor's head from the Colossus of Constantine, gained new meaning for the artist after the news of Ali Fazeli Monfared's tragic beheading for being queer. Jones has created a unique iconography in their work, featuring recurring themes of the artist's easel and the edifice, and the head. Inviting the viewer to form their own allegory of the queer artist's "fagpile" or detritus. In this body of work, pink plays a central role with political and emotional connotations, particularly in relation to queerness.

𝘈 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘐 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭 aims to investigate the liminal space between narcissism and self-loathing by allowing the artist’s own insecurities to manifest themselves in a body of work that puts the gaze on display. The exhibition’s witty and purposeful use of reflection provides the viewer space to consider the value of (self) image in our visually saturated culture.

Exhibitions run from
17th march to the 9th of april
