An expansive roof,…
Chalton Gallery presents BYZANTIA HARLOW: DUPLICATE
Chalton Gallery is pleased to present the solo exhibition of Byzantia Harlow: Duplicate (No one will drink the water of your well if you yourself do not drink it).

Sisters From Another Mister at Depford X Festival
Sisters From Another mister is a jointly authored artistic identity of Milda Lembertaitė (’87,Klaipėda, Lithuania) and Amelia Prazak (‘87, Vira Gambarogno, Switzerland). As a collective, they work with a free-wheeling practice employing gender play, witty sculptural forms, musical interludes and video works.
