Group Portrait with Garden

Taking as a starting point the communal nature of the garden, invited artists explore and draw on ideas to do with shared space and communality. These ideas unfold within spheres such as technology, history, the unconscious, popular culture and nature.

Works in the exhibition connect to the immediacy of the garden itself at the same time as opening  outward to consider broader networks of connection and reflecting on the ways shared spaces structure social, cultural and ecological relationships. This forms a kind of collective portrait, not of individuals alone, but of the relationships that bind us to one another and to the spaces we hold in common.
