LAST MINUTE

LAST MINUTE.  

2024, London UK
Exhibition curated and produced by Olivia Crosby & Phoebe Kaniewska

“The downside of sought-after experience is that they usually end” – Mark Grief 

Welcome to “Last Minute,” a group exhibition that happened in the best of ways, just in the nick of time. There is a silliness, nervousness, and excitement in things happening unplanned. Either where small degrees of separation join together, or the unpredictable breaks you open. Conclusions are curated and life reminds us that open endings and beginnings are found in spontaneity and happenstance.

The emerging artists displayed in the gallery were gathered by the willingness to participate in something “last minute,” and this show challenges you to see yourself in their work and the things that brought them together.

GALLERY GUIDE

Freya Gascoyne’s work explores her experiences of gender and queerness through the interrogation, abstraction and muddying of the body. Inherently interdisciplinary, her practice moves across and between painting, collecting, arranging, performing, rolling, hanging, stretching, experimenting and researching. Freya is completing her third year of undergraduate studies at the London Interdisciplinary School where she is exploring blending their art practice with creative research.
