Join us for a preview of the new Spike Island exhibitions: Peggy Ahwesh: 'Vision Machines' and Lucy Stein: 'Wet Room'.The preview event is free, no need to book. We will manage the capacity of both the gallery and Emmeline Café carefully during the event to ensure the safety of all visitors.
LUCY STEIN: WET ROOM
The first major UK solo show and a new commission by artist Lucy Stein. Comprising a new series of coffin-scale paintings, deities carved from soap, and a fully functioning, hand-painted wet room. Building on a lasting engagement with goddess culture, witchcraft and idea of the ‘anima’, the exhibition is based on Stein’s research into the ancient, womb-like Neolithic passages unique to West Cornwall.
PEGGY AHWESH: VISION MACHINES
Vision Machines is the first survey exhibition in the UK by American artist Peggy Ahwesh (b. 1954, Pennsylvania, USA). Curated in collaboration with London-based scholar Erika Balsom, the exhibition includes single-channel films and video installations made between 1993 and 2021.
