About this Event

All welcome, free entry

Refreshments will be served inside and Fennell’s small batch ice-cream will be available outside.

RSVP not essential, but useful to help us plan.



Phantasmagoria: Folkloric Sculpture for the Digital Age

Discover a new generation of artists exploring how digital technologies are reshaping what sculpture can be, and how they can be used to tell stories about our past, present and future.

The exhibition includes sculpture, moving image, performance, video games and installation by Jürgen Baumann, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley, Nina Davies, Joey Holder, Joe Moss, Most Dismal Swamp, Steph Linn and Philip Speakman, Isaac Lythgoe and Rustan Söderling.

Including Infinite Customisation V outside the Institute, 18:00–20:00

Joe Moss in collaboration with SATTIRE, Yokomuki UK and Side Events present Infinite Customisation V, a modified car meet for the opening night, extending Phantasmagoria into the street.



Ebb & Flow: Bookworks by Yoko Terauchi from the Research Library

The Sculpture Research Library on the first floor of the Institute holds over 30,000 books, catalogues, journals and audio-visual materials dedicated to sculpture. Among them, artists’ books – conceived as artworks in their own right – form a distinctive and growing part of the collection, often developed through close collaboration between artists and curators.

This display focuses on five rare bookworks by Japanese artist Yoko Terauchi (b.1954) from our artists’ book collection.
