CARE FOR YOU: ANTHONY BAUSSY & TYLER EASH
Cambridge Heath I 22 February - 29 March
A duo exhibition conceived by multidisciplinary artists and partners Anthony Baussy and Tyler Eash. It encompasses works formed from the numerous biographical, existential and material concepts that make up the artists’ individual practices and shared relationship. The cumulative presentation layers pieces that respond to the presence of the other in the exhibition, enacting poetic frictions through totems of selfhood, queerness, togetherness and a desire to share with audiences these illustratory constellations of love and lived experience.

WHAT IS IT LIKE
Canning Town I 28 February - 4 May
What Is It Like? delves into language, memory, and the boundaries of consciousness, shedding light on why AI models currently remain incapable of true sentience, emotion, or self-awareness.
Through artworks employing soundscapes, VR, game engines, and the metaverse, it invites viewers to navigate the layered complexities of perception, experience, and consciousness—mirroring with its interactive stage-crafting how AI technologies generate immersive yet illusory realities.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY EXHIBITION: HOMESICK
Haggerston I 5 March - 12 March
Is “home” the place we return to every day?
An invitation to reconsider the meaning of home, foregrounding how it has been—and will continue to be—more than just a place of habitation or a shelter. Home is something we are perpetually in the process of building and rebuilding, deconstructing, and discarding what no longer fits in it.
This International Women's Day, Homesick brings together eleven Sarabande artists who redefine the conventional notion of “home”. By dismantling expectations, they spark conversations about family, queerness, nomadism, post-humanism, and the body as an internalised landscape of home. In Homesick, “home” is no longer a fixed concept—it is worn, carried, and continually reshaped, dissolving the boundaries between self and space.
Opening night – Wednesday 5 March 18:00 - 20:00

DIVINE SOUTHGATE-SMITH: NAVIGATOR
Old Street I 6 March - 12 April
Following Southgate-Smith’s solo presentation at Frieze London 2024 with NıCOLETTı, 𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 will be the first solo exhibition by the London-based, Togolese-British artist at the gallery. Spanning photographic collage, sculpture, moving-image, text, poetry, and 3D animation, Southgate-Smith’s practice examines conditions of oppression and empowerment by referencing and intersecting black, queer and female experiences.
Central to Southgate-Smith’s approach is a meticulous focus on selecting, ordering, and assembling archival material. Comprising collages printed on diverse materials such as glass, gesso boards and tatami mats, 𝘕𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘰𝘳 invites us to consider archives as temporal instruments enabling the envisioning of a future deeply connected to the past. Throughout the exhibition, the artist evokes an Afro-diasporic counter-memory that blends personal, literary, folkloric, and historical narratives, conjuring layered, speculative spaces that (re)map histories beyond prescribed contexts.
Opening night – Thursday 6 March 18:00 - 20:00
PASCAL SENDER
Green Park I 6 March - 11 April
The exhibition presents a new body of work that captures contemporary recreation in a digital age.
Blending classical oil painting with instinctive, freehand lines sprayed through an air compressor, he creates a contrast between tradition and the raw immediacy of street art. Pushing the boundaries of conventional painting, Sender integrates augmented reality, allowing viewers to experience his works in a completely new dimension. His hand-coded app brings characters to life, transforming them into animated, interactive figures that merge physical and digital realms. This fusion of painting and technology offers a poignant reflection on how virtual and tangible realities increasingly intertwine.
Opening night – Thursday 6 March 18:00 - 20:00
HYANGMOK BAIK: HOME
BEERS LONDON
Farringdon I 6 March - 12 April
Hyangmok Baik (b. 1990, Seoul, South Korea) currently lives and works in Seoul. He graduated in 2019 with a MA in Fine Art from Hongik University. Baik is intent on establishing a new language to comprehend a world that is otherwise incomprehensible. Where inner and outer realities merge.
Exhibition text written by artist and writer, Andrew Salgado:
Very recently I came across a book by a lesser-known author of short stories by the name of Bruno Schulz. To read a Schulz story (any Schulz story) is to submit to a fantastical and macabre world. Characters become birds or insects; they disappear through walls and merge into their surroundings. [...] So Baik becomes like Schulz, escaping to an inner world of comfort, where he cannot escape but in fact embraces some of the grotesque or macabre imagery that appears therein. Like Schulz, Baik is intent on establishing a new language to comprehend a world that is otherwise incomprehensible.
Opening night – Thursday 6 March 18:00 - 20:00

FERN O’CAROLAN: GUILT & GRACE
Bethnal Green I 7 March - 7 April

Opening night – Thursday 6 March 18:00 - 21:00
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
GALLERY 1014
Dalston Kingsland I Thursday 6 March 18:30 - 21:00
When observing the spectrum of social and cultural differences, Romance is particularly prevalent, thanks in part to our resourcefulness. While we reach for a shared feeling, the steps we take to get there are all quite different. Romance feels inherently formless as a result. What we each find romantic is our own to discover.
A Room with a View is a collection of advances, a courtship between materiality and the photographic image. Playing the role of Cupid, the exhibition pulls together a collection of makers from different corners, each enacting a form of romantic gesture, highlighting the nuances of Romance, the charge that they can hold and what sensations they can bring.
