TUESDAY MAY 28TH

Kristin McIver’s exhibition ‘Status Quo’ at James Makin Gallery.

Status Quo explores the notion of identity as commodity. The exhibition continues McIver’s exploration of consumer identity in the era of hyper-capitalism. The work in the exhibition (predominantly in neon, steel and concrete), transposes digital subject matter into physical objects to highlight the tangible economic value placed on our thoughts and desires.

Fraught Outfit as part of the Neon Independent Theatre Festival presents ‘On the Bodily Education of Young Girls’ at MTC

From the team behind the highly acclaimed Persona comes a theatrical experience of radical and daring intimacy, inspired by Frank Wedekind’s 1903 novella.
