FINAL FEW DAYS! . Closing on Saturday, this week is the last chance to catch @permindarkaur's exhibition in our upstairs galleries. .

Through these explorations, Kaur connects sculpture to broader societal conversations, making her work both accessible and critically relevant. .

Titled Scene of the Myth, the exhibition explores her expansive art practice, which consists of installations, performances, archives, talks and papers. Pierce’s interests include radical pedagogies, student work, learning communities, rebellions, and historical figures. . A large body of recent works relates to Sarah Pierce’s interest in the figure of the student, in particular the art student, and the relationship between teaching and learning, politics and art-making. . The John Hansard Gallery exhibition will feature a significant selection of projects with students, who are regular collaborators in her work, including Campus (2011), a repeated performance by art students that mirrors repetitious acts in how art is understood, made, and installed. .
