COMING SOON! 👀⁠ ⁠ With our Las Gemelas and Sarah Pierce exhibitions now closed, the team here at John Hansard Gallery are looking forward to our upcoming shows opening 8 February.⁠ ⁠ We're thrilled to be welcoming @Critchley_Emma with her captivating new exhibition Soundings. A thought-provoking reflection on deep-sea mining, Critchley uses various forms – including film, public engagement, and live dance performances – to interrogate the political, natural, and social identities of the deep-sea. A crucial element of our global ecosystem, we are rapidly reaching an inflection point as the deadline for commercial mining regulation approaches.⁠ ⁠ In Gallery 1, we're delighted to be hosting Stasis Field, a new exhibition by @KathyPPrendergast. Exploring memory, transformation, and the passage of time, the exhibition is at once intensely personal and utterly universal. Centring a collection of transformed volcanic maps, Prendergast's works exude a tactile, almost pulsating energy.⁠ ⁠ In the meantime, our Digital Array is now showing LUMI, a video essay on planetary light by @AbelardoGFournier and Jussi Parikka, and our regular programming of Space to Create! sessions on Saturdays is running as usual.⁠ ⁠ #JHGPrendergast #JHGCritchley #JHGFournierParikka #KathyPrendergast #EmmaCritchley #AbelardoFournier #JussiParikka #Art #InstallationArt #Sculpture #Film #ContemporaryArt #Southampton #SotonArts #KerlinGallery #Dublin #SouthamptonEvents
