Join us after-hours, from 18:00 to 20:00, to be among the first to explore the new installation! Alongside the gallery being open for previews, we’ll also be hosting a social in Studio/Lab, located on the building’s third floor. There, Helen and Gavin will give relaxed artist presentations and share a little more about how they developed their works. Grab a free drink, explore the space, and dive deeper into the exhibition!

Both Helen and Gavin explore the complexities of human existence in the modern world. The artworks navigate experiences of alienation caused by societal neglect and digital isolation.

Helen Anna Flanagan showcases her film Burnt Toast. Combining machine learning, analogue technologies, archival materials, and a trained impersonator, the film resurrects legendary British comedian Tommy Cooper. Through this work, Helen prompts us to consider how hidden structures — such as class, culture, and capitalism — shape our lives, influence our actions, and contribute to feelings of alienation

Gavin Gayagoy presents Doomscroll_1, an interactive film that examines our relationship with smartphones, focusing on the sensation of “doom-scrolling” — the compulsive consumption of digital content, often to the detriment of mental health.
