This vibrant group exhibition, New Life and the Dream Garden, brings together recent and newly commissioned works by 12 international emerging artists,
six UK-based and six from abroad. Drawing inspiration from Thomas More’s 16th century book, the show is a satirical reflection of contemporary life cast
in the form of the elusive search for the fantastical utopian dream. The view shifts from a focus on unattainable idealism to an exploration of the real
world. In migrating and relocating to these new territories, the artists’ vainly constructed ‘dream gardens’ can only collapse looking towards ‘ou topos’ (no
place), ultimately mirroring our society.
