Somewhere Between Nothing and Nowhere Luke Shaw & Phoebe Hinchliff

Opening preview: Friday 29 January, 5.30pm
Free to attend all welcome 

Somewhere Between Nothing and Nowhere is a collection of new collaborative work by Phoebe Hinchliff and Luke Shaw. 

This exhibition explores the notion of the in-between. Playfully riffing on Hinchliff’s attempts to reach nowhere, the work finds itself situated between two points. Beginning with a shared interest in Western films, both artists seek to unravel ideas around ‘the journey’. This investigation seeks to break down this separation, exploring points of tension and release. Hinchliff and Shaw's collaborative practice experiments with vanishing and recomposing––transposing places and layering histories.
