Hazel Brill, Kara Chin, Lewis Davidson
Staffordshire St presents a group exhibition by Lewis Davidson, Hazel Brill and Kara Chin. They are brought together by a shared drive to work with the mundane and nostalgic icons of material culture, both from the everyday and from the fictional worlds of disaster and horror films. Likening their processes to den-building, the artists playfully hobble together and break apart well-known subjects to create their own spaces of solace, to hold tight against the wailing moon and its sea of mass-produced objects.

Kirsty Badenoch with Tom Jeffreys
​
A joint exhibition and book launch exploring the multi-species languages of forests through walking, writing and drawing. Badenoch and Jeffreys spent time living and working across two sites of remnant ancient woodland in Scotland earlier this year. Through careful attention to shifting management strategies and lines of ownership, exclusion and extraction, their work explores how power (mis)shapes relationships between people and the land. The exhibition showcases new work across large-scale drawing, paper-based sculptural installation, photography, text, sound, and launches a new collaboratively produced artist book.

curated by Louis Chapple.
​
For its third edition, multidisciplinary design lab SONS OF CRAFT and Deptford-based project space studio/chapple collaborate once again for the ACall Arts Festival: A week-long exhibition and series of events that celebrates the intersection between art, music, fashion and design.
This year, the theme builds on a mythology - or ‘techno-mythology’ - that centres around technology’s resulting impact on consumerism and the commodification of the human existence. Playing on classical mythology, ideas of the underworld - both literally and metaphorically - will form a setting in which notions of desire and greed, industrial downfall, and technological decay will be enacted out within the crevice between myth and reality.
