Sonya Dyer | The Ready Room

In this project, hard science meets science fiction, with the Ready Room providing space for cells to relax, strategize and entertain. Recalling HeLa’s dubious genesis, the exhibition contemplates alternate forms of building society – what if the HeLa cells have found a better way to live? Sonya Dyer’s work intertwines speculative fiction, hard science and mythologies to propose new ways of conceiving where the centre is located in fictional narratives of the future.

Ruth Angel Edwards & Chloée Maugile | THE WALL & Hyperopia

A new multi-media installation featuring two experimental films. THE WALL is a surreal and absurdist take on housing inequality and its psychological effects. It explores how the same problems - overcrowding, ‘revenge evictions’, mould and vermin - have played out from the medieval era to the present day. Hyperopia is a psychedelic two channel video installation which uses script, disorientating film and editing techniques.

David Steans | Mummy Hood Nesting Forest

Mummy Hood Nesting Forest is a site to get lost: a forest, a URL, and a new work of fiction by artist David Steans. The commission takes the form of a multipart story hosted online in its entirety via a bespoke website which functions both as a specific context informing the story and a contrived situation for engaging with it.
