‘Ambient Haze’
SPECTRAL NATION
THERESE VANDLING, LUKE FROST, JOHN RUNDALL
“Spectral Nation’s forays in print transport you to a disorienting, warped, quasi-landscape of layered and obscured forms. A mirage of colour and ambiguous visions.”
Improvised screen-printed monotypes, sonic translations
On display are new works from Spectral Nation’s ‘Eraze Phaze’, and ‘Ambient Haz’e series, accompanied by audio arrangements created in response by selected electronic musicians. Also on show are collaged compositions using ‘byproduct’ masking papers, usually a discarded part of the process. The screen-printed monotype works Eraze Phaze use an amalgam of techniques, in an improvised manner, with no fixed outcome. Hand pulled raw gestural first passes collide with smoother blended gradients. Layers of hand cut masking stencils clash and combine with discordant colour combinations, building texture and creating visual tension in increasingly complex and psychedelic scenes.
Musicians responding to artworks
Nik Void, Kenichi Iwasa, Ultramarine, Richard Fearless, The Maghreban and Mister Hongo
18th October - 10th November 2024
‘transference’
ANNA BLOM
curated by JENN ELLIS presented by APSARA x GALLERY46
Exploring states of transition, Anna Blom’s survey solo exhibition, ‘transference’, is a tender investigation of variance and what is consciously as well as subconsciously exchanged between people, places and the unobserved. Curated by Jenn Ellis, founder of Apsara Studio, ‘transference’ responds to contextual change and liminality, as well as the oscillations in oneself. Presenting new works, Blom’s survey exhibition explores how each piece articulates a poetic verbiage and takes on a diaristic methodology, responding to Blom’s environment and emotional state at any given moment. Her semi-abstract paintings, which she describes as “observational portraits”, contain traces of her continuous research; an archival process of investigating how individuals connect, combine and construct themselves through collecting objects, matter, white noise and writing.
27th September - 13th October 2024
‘WORKING GIRLS!'
Curated by MATHILDE FRIIS
All women show featuring AJ Bravo, ASWAC (Anonymous Sex Work Art Collective), Celeste the Hooker, Chao-Ying Rao aka (Femme Castratrice), DaddyBears, M.J. McAlpine, Modest Gold Ozziline, Mercedes 666, Vex Ashley & Four Chambers and Whoretographer (Poppy Pray)
The upcoming group exhibition WORKING GIRLS! examines the intersection between contemporary art practice and the sex industry. The artists in this exhibition explore various aspects of the sex industry in their work, including fetishisation, gender and sexuality, kink, desire, fantasy, community, and friendship. Their artistic practices span multiple mediums, from textile, and photography, to painting and film.
This exhibition aims to challenge established societal norms by addressing the stigma often faced by sex workers, encouraging the audience to reflect on the boundaries between art, sex, labour, and the market.
26th July - 11th August 2024
‘[Un]Reliable Witness’
DOM BOUFFARD
‘Mapping the ways in which traumatic experiences inform and reform across geographies and generations, and how the personal becomes the political’.
Inherited memory and intergenerational trauma are phenomena experienced by descendants of those having witnessed, suffered, or perpetrated extreme experiences; war, genocide, or abuse. In [Un]Reliable Witness Dom Bouffard draws on his own experience as the child of an Algerian War refugee to give shape to this post-memory. In an immersive entanglement of sculpture, drawing, video, and interactive sound installation, Bouffard creates a space in which to connect and reflect, while confronting the volatile relationship between the personal and the political in an era of global conflict.
featuring BOBBY LLOYD, JOSEPHINE CARTER, RAMAN FEIZ
4th - 21st July 2024
‘The Garden of Delights on Earth’

We will be exploring where food comes from, and what might we feel about the scarcity of resources as the climate changes.
7th - 30th June 2024
‘Nothing But The Truth’
MICHIEL ten BOKUM
The exhibition brings together new and seminal works from his captivating series of ‘Liars’, which has been in the making over the past 8 years.
‘Nothing But The Truth’ draws from a period the artist spent in London in 2015. A gritty mix of fine art and twisted pop culture, the work delves deep into the intricate social structures of both local and global figures, fueled by an unyielding anthropological curiosity. Through his unique lens, Michiel explores societal taboos, infusing his paintings and objects with a raw, politically provocative edge. The series of ‘Liars’, featuring iconic figures like Tara Singh Varma, Han Vermeegeren, Tony Blair, George Allen, Reekers, Willibrord Frequin, Prins Bernhard, Lyle Alzado, Mohammed Said Al-Sahaf, and himself, with each canvas a window into a world of intrigue and complexity.
11th - 26th May
‘Hidden tracks; A decade of free parties’
SEANA GAVIN
An exhibition stemming from the legacy of the sound systems that put on illegal raves in the UK and across Europe in the 1990s. It is a document of the people, creativity and alternative way of living of a very underground scene.The free party movement emerged as a rebellion against the over commercialization of Acid House that had developed in the UK at the time. When Seana Gavin became part of this subculture as an underage teenager, it was the year after the iconic Castlemorton festival – a week long free unlicensed event which took place in the British countryside. Before the days of mobile phones, between 20,000 and 50,000 people came together by word of mouth. It was shut down by the police and later inspired the legislation that became ‘The Criminal Justice Act’.
10th - 28th April 2024
‘Forever Entangled in a Causal Loop’
CHARLOTTE HOPKINS HALL
GALLERY46 is proud to announce a solo exhibition by Charlotte Hopkins Hall. Entitled ‘Forever Entangled in a Causal Loop’, the exhibition, which features new and previously unseen works, has been in the making for more than two years. Comprised of large-scale paintings rendered in acrylic on canvas, alongside acrylic and wood block print on Japanese paper, the artist has drawn on idea of a causal loop to lead the way from one space to the other. Based on the idea of a causal loop to lead the way from one room to the other, where the simple existence of one space exerts influence on the others and vice versa, this exhibition decries today’s inexistant leadership, deficient political acumen and the effect of poor decision making. According to Hopkins Hall, folly inhabits the quest for peace, and order fails to tame chaos. This is the complexity of the human experience; forever being entangled in a causal loop.
Charlotte Hopkins Hall (b, Geneva, Switzerland) lives and works in London. Since graduating from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Genève, now HEAD, her work has been exhibited internationally, notably at the Palazzo Strozzi, Florence, and the Walker Gallery, Liverpool. Hopkins Hall has been selected for a number of awards including the Swiss Art Awards, the John Moores Painting Prize and the Aesthetica Art Prize. Her work is in private collections in Europe and the United States.
8th March - 4th April 2024
‘Dad’
DAVID TUCKER
“An exploration into the slow grieving process brought on by ambivalent loss. Discovering the space between destruction and re-creation of oneself.”
The exhibition is the culmination of four year’s work. When he began, the focus was solely on his father, who passed away in 2022, one week after his seventy-eighth birthday, having first shown signs of the illness aged only sixty-one. However, it developed into something more with the onset of lockdown in 2020, which resulted in the artist metaphorically ‘putting the mirrors up on the walls’ of his studio, a process of self-evaluation that led to him contemplating himself not just as a son to a father with Alzheimer’s, but as a father to his own two children. These meditations are meshed into the fabric of each of the thirty-plus artworks that have been brought together for this show, and in the case of the oil sculptures almost literally. The presentation is not only brave in its undertaking, but also experimental in its execution.
6th - 25th February 2024
‘Here Unheard’
LCC BA Sound Arts Y2 Group Exhibition
GALLERY46 presents a collaborative group exhibition created by BA (Hons) Sound Arts students from the London College of Communication, University of Arts London.
“Here Unheard” explores the multi-faceted nature of sound arts across a diverse range of works. The title plays on a poetic invocation to be present in the contemporary moment of the ‘here’ whilst inviting attention to the ‘unheard’: the neglected, the forgotten, and the over-looked in an ocularcentric society. The group of emerging sound artists have chosen to examine the possibilities of working with sound – physically, materially, conceptually – broaching themes and phenomena such as: time-travel, synaesthesia, cymatics, disability and the body, gender, the attainment of wisdom, fear of AI, hearing loss, sculptural materiality, performance aesthetics, the dynamics of interior/exterior spaces. Sound installation is explored in many forms: mixed-media installation, kinetic sculptures, audiovisual works, generative programming, sound and light sculptures, non-sounding sculpture, sensor instrument, interactive works as well as auditory works for speakers, headphones and multichannel.

‘Don’t write our names in red'
IZU & MATTHEW CHUNG
Presented by FOREIGN OBJECT
Don’t Write Our Names In Red’ combines the work of Izu and Matthew Chung, the duality in both their work unfolds a new and hybrid form of identity with aesthetics and cultural influences from the East and West.
Foreign Object in partnership with GALLERY46 invites you, the audience, to weave, tangle and untangle yourself amongst the mysterious and complex nature of the self. The Self as a distortion, an amalgamation of happenings and a longing to belong. Having grown up in the US as the children of a Korean immigrant family and navigating the Western landscape, Izu and Matthew Chung incorporate elements of both cultural selves to create a new and viewable embodiment of the human experience through both a queer and gendered(less) lens in their completely different yet similar assimilation process. A show inviting you to witness the discovery and ownership of the self.
13th - 22nd October 2023
‘HOVERING’
NISOPROJECT X GALLERY46
Although colour exists within the physical world as an inherent part of objects, it seems to arrive and appear with light. It travels within a magical ow of vibrations and blesses a surface as it lands.
This exhibition presents the works of three artists that seem to catch that hovering light.
featuring Michael KAUL, Nicky HODGE, Henry HOFFMAN

We Ain’t dED Yet
The ART ARMS FAIR
On 11th September 2023 the award-winning Art the Arms Fair (ATAF) will return to London with its 4th exhibition. Running until 17 September, the exhibition will coincide with the Defence and Security International (DSEI) arms fair being held at the ExCel Centre. Art the Arms Fair continues to expose the DSEI arms fair, which is held with the support of the UK Government in London every two years. One of the world’s largest arms fairs, this year’s DSEI will have 2,800 suppliers, and more than 230 new exhibitors. Despite Sadiq Khan calling for a stop to the event, numbers of attendees are expected to surge following Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
Curator Zayna Al-Saleh:
“The exhibition is testament to the presence and operations of the arms trade in our daily British lives: from its staging in our capital to its discrete dealings with our universities. These dealings provide the means for major human rights violations and have resulted in millions of refugees, many of whom are not granted safety from European waters. Where politicians have failed to place accountability, artists will lead with a literal revelation in the national interest of our public."
Featuring Adam Broomberg, Daniel Dugan, Ed Hall, Elizabeth Eade, EPI, Gavin Turk, Jeremy Deller, Ken Nwadiogbu, Kyle Goen, Protest Stencil, Subvertiser aka Dr. D and Zedsy
11th – 17TH September 2023
TRANQUIL by MOTAS
Curated by AKRILYC
An art unit formed in 2012 by BOYA and TOMO.
BOYA had been doing graffiti, and TOMO had worked on projects such as stop-motion films, which are two artists from different genres who have combined their unique perspectives on human emotions in their artwork. The canvas works and mural works created by BOYA’s drawings and TOMO’s sense of colour evoke a mysterious warmth that transcends storytelling, time period and regional characteristics.
In recent years, they have expanded the scope of their creations with the motif of “BLEYE”, a character with a bent middle finger, and three small “OOOS” in red, blue, and yellow.
These characters signify that “no matter what the situation, tomorrow will come, and we will live while carrying something on our backs”.
1st -10th September 2023
‘The State of It’
Curated by DORA DENSHAM BOND X GALLERY46
‘The State of It’ explores the convoluted reality of what it means to exist in the prevailing turbulent environment that is life in the UK. Hysteria, disillusionment and a longing for the past being a motif for survival.
An assembly of artists, working in digital and traditional media. A dizzying profusion of turbulence, political indifference and an absence of opportunity – sentimentality and delirium gathers.
Featuring Ada Bond, Dora Densham Bond, Leo Fox, Luke Hemingway, Harry Hodkinson, Nina Mhach Durban and Athen Kardashian, Tommy Ryoma, Cora Sehgal Cuthbert and Freddie White
10th - 16th August 2023
‘ART SCHOOL’
JOHN AYSCOUGH, MAGGIE HILLS, ROBERT MONTGOMERY, ELAINE SPEIRS
'Those art school years are so vivid, it still seems like yesterday and I can still taste the exact air of the moments’
We were best friends in the summer of 1990. We lived in the big double upper attic flat on Forbes Road where Jason Herzmark painted the last paragraph’s of James Joyce’s ‘The Dead’ huge around the entire stairwell in black foot high letters – “Yes, the newspapers were right: snow was general all over Ireland. It was falling softly upon the Bog of Allen and, further westwards, softly falling into the dark mutinous Shannon waves. It was falling too upon every part of the lonely churchyard where Michael Furey lay buried. It lay thickly drifted on the crooked crosses and headstones, on the spears of the little gate, on the barren thorns. His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead….” We lived on lentils and bottles of red wine called ‘Fitou’ stolen from restaurant shifts and cigarettes from the Spar on the Bruntsfied Links called Skyy cigarettes, which had pictures of clouds on the packets.
7th - 16th July 2023
“WISH YOU WERE HERE…?”
TAG FINE ART curates
The summer group exhibition inspired by the 1974 BBC hit TV show ‘Wish You Were Here…?’ celebrating a return to local and international travel. ‘Wish You Were Here…?’ takes a playful look at holidaying and travel escapism as we seek to re engage with the wonders of the world post-pandemic. But as the way we travel changes, with environmental concerns redefining how, when and where we take our holidays, Wish You Were Here…?’ is, in many ways, a beautiful metaphor for holidaying itself – the exhibition touching on themes such as memory and nostalgia, that are irrefutably interwoven with how artists are approaching this complex subject today.
Featuring Claire Brewster, Adam Bridgland, James Burke, Rebecca Coles, Francesca Colussi Cramer, Adam Dant, Ewan David Eason, Ella Freire, Guy Gee, Richard Heeps, Emma Johnson, Dede Johnston, Emily V. Jones, Frank Kieley, Lucinda Metcalfe, Perish The Thought, Loraine Rutt, Lucy Smallbone, Justine Smith, Benjamin Thomas Taylor, Yanko Tihov, Tobias Till, Stephen Walter, David Wightman, Brigette Williams, Kristjana S.

2nd - 5th June 2023
‘MONSTER’
JOE HESKETH
MONSTER’ a solo show by Joe Hesketh – in which she explores a vivid depiction of the lawless territory that occupies the convoluted reality of what it means to be human, capturing an apoca- lyptic cynicism that seems to be inextricably bound to life as a woman in the 21st century.
With themes of transgression and the grotesque pervading her work, ‘Monster’ is a search for meaning in a world full of ‘ism’s’. Hesketh’s work probes and pivots between sex, life and death and humour, tragedy and beauty that endures amidst the chaos of our world, saturated with a myriad of manmade horrors and injustices.

'NIGHT BY NIGHT'
JASON MANNING
A decade long photographic portrait of nightclubbing and night culture.
This photographic body of work began in late 1997 and continued for the next 10 years. It documents the people out in clubs and the ebb and flow of the social situation that unfolds within them. Night culture offers a physical and mental space for the suspension of the burden of everyday life through the conspicuous consumption of drink, narcotics, relationships and time.
The pictures in this series depict moments of narcotic tenderness and navigates the choreography of intoxication, capturing intimate and fleeting moments of late at night in London, Paris, Moscow, Birmingham, Seoul, Nottingham, New York, Wigan, Helsinki, Detroit, Ibiza, Tallin, Berlin, Montreal, Hong Kong, Glasgow, Belgrade, Bern, Dresden, Barcelona, Sopot, Manchester, Edinburgh, Turku, Singapore.

'DEAD FLOWERS // NEW FACES'
Jason McGlade
“Jason McGlade is calmly and beautifully attuned to chasing serendipity, in the uncertainty and chaos which has abound.”
The rare beauty of Dead Flowers // New Faces began in the shed Jason McGlade constructed in London several years before lockdown. Looking out through found glass windows, McGlade needed a studio extension for his connoisseur’s collection of vintage cameras, analogue development, a stuffed fox, and flowers rummaged from bins at Covent Garden Market, used as frames for shoots, then hung upside down to dry.

'BRUTAL ATTRACTION'
DuoVision X GALLERY46
An exhibition exploring city life, urban identity and controversial beauty with work by four London based LGBT artists.
What should we make of the horror that passes for modern life, frozen painfully as it is, between anticipation and anti-climax? Brutal Attraction offers a kaleidoscopic, yet forensic, insight into this question as it is refracted through the works of artists David Harrison, Mandy McCartin, David Wightman and Peter Wylie. Through their lenses we see splinters of the past, present and future fusing into a landscape where thanatic desire and erotic anxiety rule the urban wasteland, and animals, individuals – even tower blocks – can be found hung on its dark, unexploded axis.
This show is a tribute to DAVID WIGHTMAN who sadly passed away in 2019

'decoy'
NORBERT SCHOERNER
at The FITZROVIA CHAPEL x GALLERY46
decoy brings together 14 works by German photographer, artist and visualiser Norbert Schoerner created between 2018-19 with the aid of a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN). The GAN, a machine learning framework, assists in realising scenes, initially imagined by Schoerner in the form of brief textual vignettes, as digital .PNG files. The resulting prints are eerie, unfamiliar interpretations pulled from unknown fields of information. decoy builds on from this previous investigation into text and image, creation and perception, by challenging received notions of consciousness, creativity and collaboration.

Co curator CAMILLA COLE

'The Salamander Devours its Tail Twice'
Co curator ASHLEY MIDDLETON
“The comfortable people want only wax moon faces, poreless, hairless, expressionless. We are living in a time when flowers are trying to live on flowers, instead of growing on good rain and black loam. Even fireworks, for all their prettiness, come from the chemistry of the earth. Yet somehow we think we can grow, feeding on flowers and fireworks, without completing the cycle back to reality.”Fahrenheit 451

DAVID JAMES

PAUL RENNER & PAUL SAKOILSKY
The artists first met working for the Viennese Aktionnist, Hermann Nitsch, in his Orgien Mysterien Theater.

'A Connection Is Made'
Co curated by MORE curatorial group
“It was a confrontation with the body. It was the notion that the object recedes in its self-importance. It participates in a complex experience that includes the object, your body, the space, and the time of your experience. It’s locked together in these things.”
Robert Morris. A Connection Is Made is about allowing a communication that happens within the act of collaboration, and that persists between the art objects that originate from it. Utilising and exploring relationships founded on interactions in the educational facility of CASS school of Art, where mentors, students, tutors, lecturers, visiting artists, intermingle.
Artists Deej Fabyc,, Ben Cain, Richard Ducker, Hamer Faramarzi, Peter Fillingham, Bethan Hughes, Adele Lazzeri, Adam Oczkowicz, Grace Radford and Toby Tobias Kidd
9th – 22nd March 2018
'The Pink Panther Show'
Co curated by EVANGELINE LING and DATEAGLEART
Initially triggered by an Instagram story proposal, The Pink Panther Show is an experiment as much as it is an exhibition. At first glance, the artists have hardly anything in common: they are in different points of their career; their practices are diverse; they deal with different issues, and are interested in distinctive themes. However, being brought together by the eponymous character, they are ‘forced’ to interpret the same concept without losing their definitive traits.
Artists Daniel Burley, Jade Chingyuk Ng, Arnaud Desjardin, Hetty Douglas, Fiona Grady, Laurence Greenberg,Tom Hardwick-Allan, Evangeline Ling, Tanya Ling, Michael Murphy, India Nielsen, Callum Nixon, Delilah Olson, Niamh Roberts, Liam Scully and Hannah Tilson

'Voices of Transition': Contemporary Art from Myanmar
The exhibition focuses on the self-perception of the artist within Myanmar society. The works of these artists are rooted in a rich tradition of Theravada Buddhism, calligraphy, and performance art. And yet, their artistic productions are made distinct by radical new challenges and opportunities during the political transition process. The selected artists are vigilant to narrow categorisation and misrepresentation of their idiosyncratic perspectives and artistic outputs.
Artists Zar Min Htike, Aye Ko, Phyoe Kyi, Nge La, Htein Lin, Aung Mint, Mayco Naing, Soe Yu New, Moe Satt, Kaung Su, Nyein Chan Su, Chaw Ei Thein, May Phue Thet, Yadanar Win and Zoncy

'Civilisation'
DAVID JAMES
Debut solo exhibition comprised of a series of drawings and paintings that explore the relationship between personal experience and the history of art. James’s ‘drawings’ and ‘paintings’ are neither drawn or painted in the conventional sense. The drawings are the result of a meticulous technique he uses to modify the reproductions of masterpieces by artists such as Velázquez and Rembrandt, torn from the pages of vintage art books. This seemingly destructive act abstracts iconic works from the history of art to the point of oblivion, but in doing so James creates new images with new identities. The paintings are, in turn, fabricated objects made from enlargements of the drawings, with the addition of layers of resin, hair and grit.
2nd – 25th October 2017
'The House Of The Last London'
IAIN SINCLAIR
The Last London, published by Oneworld in September 2017, is the ultimate book in a long series of urban wanderings and documentations by Iain Sinclair. The city is now somewhere else, both more and less than itself. And the old methods of transcription no longer play. Sinclair strikes out on a series of solitary walks and collaboratives expeditions to make a final reckoning with a capital stretched beyond recognition. Born in 1943, Cardiff, he studied at Trinity College, Dublin, the Courtauld Institute of Art, and the London School of Film Technique. He was connected to the British avant garde poetry scene in the 1960s and 70s involving J. H. Prynne, Douglas Oliver and Brian Calting. He also edited the 1996 poetry anthology, Conductors of Chaos.
