Join us for a preview of the new Spike Island exhibitions, Peggy Ahwesh: Vision Machines and Lucy Stein: Wet Room.
The preview event is free, no need to book. We will manage the capacity of both the gallery and Emmeline Café carefully during the event to ensure the safety of all visitors.
Lucy Stein: Wet Room
Spike Island presents Wet Room, the first major solo exhibition in the UK by Cornwall-based artist Lucy Stein (b. 1979). Working primarily with painting and drawing, Stein’s show is inspired by the fougou: narrow Neolithic underground passages unique to West Cornwall that lead to womb-like chambers and have become sacred sites of worship.
Peggy Ahwesh: Vision Machines
Vision Machines is the first survey exhibition in the UK by American artist Peggy Ahwesh (b. 1954, Pennsylvania, USA). Curated in collaboration with London-based scholar Erika Balsom, the exhibition includes single-channel films and video installations made between 1993 and 2021.
