Sky Gallery Launch

Delighted to launch the new Sky Gallery, a dual~exhibition space at Spitalfields Studios, with its inaugural exhibition.

Mounted on opposite walls of the Sky Gallery, the dual~installation symbolises the continual exchange between these artists, who have each remarked on how the act of collaboration has unexpectedly reinforced the distinctiveness of their own practice and identity. At the same time, shared meditations on what is ‘between’… is what seems to energise this ongoing conversation…’
