Artists
Giorgio Andreotta Calò, Latifa Echakhch, Basir Mahmood, Phillip Lai und Claudia Pagès Rabal

The group exhibition Water Being Washed Away brings together works that use dynamics or images of liquid infiltration as political and existential metaphors. Through different forms of erosion that are material and symbolic, the exhibition establishes a dialogue between artists who look at how physical, cultural, and biographical positions of distance can question and nuance the idea that aesthetic and political lineages are stable notions, fixed in time and in behaviour.

Opening times
Tue-Fri: 11am-6pm, Sat: 11am-2pm
