NOW SHOWING! Kathy Prendergast: Stasis Field Blending drawing, sculpture, and installation to explore themes of identity, geography, and the human body, Stasis Field is a new exhibition by artist Kathy Prendergast. Known for her meditative and evocative works, Prendergast employs materials such as wool, fabric, chalk stone, flowers, and found objects to create art that resonates on both personal and universal levels. Stasis Field features a selection of new pieces made especially for John Hansard Gallery, offering audiences an intimate experience that intertwines memory, transformation, and the passage of time. Stasis Field is a deeply reflective and timely exhibition, inviting audiences to contemplate their relationship with the land, their histories, and their place in an ever-changing world.

NOW SHOWING! Emma Critchley: Soundings Combining filmmaking, choreography, and public engagement, this thought-provoking exhibition aims to address the complex issue of deep-sea mining. Deep-sea mining is a critical but little-known issue that artist Emma Critchley has been engaged with for many years. The deep seabed, legally the shared responsibility of humankind, plays a vital role in regulating the earth’s climate and supporting life. Mining has not yet begun, but in 2023 a two-year road map was set out to finalise the mining code, which will define the regulations for all mining operations. Amidst growing calls for a pause, Soundings assembles a wide range of material and perspectives, offering a counter-position to the intensifying attempts of those wanting to move ahead with the first-ever commercial mining for minerals of the seabed. Showing across our upstairs gallery spaces, Soundings invites audiences to connect with the deep ocean from an intensely embodied perspective.
