Chantal Powell’s work explores the symbolic language of the unconscious through the lenses of Jungian theory, ancient mythology, and alchemical literature. Employing a variety of materials, including ceramics, glass, and textiles, she bridges psychological processes with archetypal imagery, illuminating the transformative potential of the human psyche.

Hot Flash is a solo exhibition of ceramic sculpture, animation and drawing by Melanie Jackson, that brings together two bodies of recent work, Rouge Flambé and Spekyng Rybawdy, in a pair of installations across Exeter Phoenix’s two gallery spaces. Together, they present us with an assembly of conceptual nomads, drawn from medieval sculptures of dissent; to incendiary (colonial) trading histories; to a fascination with technoscience’s visions and chimeras.

The Devil’s Helix considers a reinterpretation of fossils of the past while questioning the conclusions made of the marks we leave from the future. This digitally manipulated, scaled up iteration of a photographic collage forms part of the artist’s ongoing investigation into future fossils and the implications of human activity on the stratigraphic record.

This exhibition showcases the artistic talents of the men at HMP Channings Wood with work created as part of the Open Door Project.

A revelatory inside-look at John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s life in Greenwich Village in the early 1970s, featuring music from John & Yoko’s only full-length concerts, newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon.

His work for Gallery 333 is an attempt to contain drawing, to make a container for the activity of drawing. An archive of parts from the studio, cut up, reformed, layered and pieced together; a document of action and inaction, drawing and not, a montage of many little moments.

The Slightest Gesture is an exhibition of new sculpture and moving image works by artist Tabatha Andrews, who is known for making immersive sculptural installations that question our reliance on sight, drawing attention to non-verbal communication, touch, movement and listening.
