Small Mercies is the first solo show in England by Glasgow-based artist Matthew Arthur Williams. Spanning both galleries at Primary, the exhibition combines new printed media, sound and moving image.
For Colorado-based artist Maia Ruth Lee’s first UK solo exhibition beginning on the Spring Equinox, we imagine the gallery as a worldly and spiritual centre. Installations of sculpture, painting, and luggage across our galleries will explore human life in motion.
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.
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.
Join us for the final of Sam Keogh’s performances as part of The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle Cartoon, an installation of large-scale figurative collage presented at Primary. These live interventions will see Keogh interact with the collaged elements of the work.

The Unicorn is Killed and Brought to the Castle Cartoon is an installation of large-scale figurative collage by artist Sam Keogh. These intricate works on paper draw heavily from The Hunt of the Unicorn, a series of seven tapestries made at the turn of the 16th century.
Mummy Hood Garden is a new site to Get Lost: a garden, a hideaway, a forest, a URL, a model, a mock up, a work of fiction. It is situated in Primary's garden on the street facing facade of our Grade II listed building, visible from Ilkeston Road.
Land Lay Moldbrest is a three-part audiobook by artist and writer Roy Claire Potter that follows the protagonist Walker, as they journey the bridleways of the remote Pennine moorlands, with a parcel of half-erased field journals. How long they’ve been doing their ‘research’ is anybody’s guess.
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.
For the final commission in the Object Performance series, Sophie Jung has created a new installation comprising sculpture and video.
