Is This What We Have Left? 

featuring never shown and new works by artists Kate O’Neill, Marta Dyczkowska and James Thompson. Show opens 19/09/2024 focused on the current dialogues we are having as creatives around space.

'Ephemeral traces and physical records of cultural spaces and spaces for making art, friends and dancing cross the boundaries between places and memories to create a new fictional space at the Hyde Park Book Club. These traces tells us the stories of buildings, but also about the people that designed them, how they were built and lived in. The works on exhibitions tells us the story of the people in these buildings, in particular fellow artists and their communities at large. They ask us to reflect about the changes in our cities whether they are physical, concerning the built environment, or socio-economic, dictated by specific dis/investments that attract temporary communities and more permanent residents while pushing others at the margins. After having spent years to build spaces for arts, culture and communities, when alternatives cannot be imagined or supported, is this all that remains from those experiences?
