Exhibitions
Keystone Species
Keystone Species is our current exhibition, taking inspiration from the ecological concept of species whose presence supports and sustains entire ecosystems. Bringing together works by Owen Bennett, Jennifer Crouch, Alex Hincapié, Lisa Gornick, Jolene Liam, Zoë Marden, Fergus Polglase, Katherine Pogson, Olha Pryymak, Nina Ross, Nwakuba Udenze, Siena Venturino-Malcherczyk and tyroneisaacstuart, the exhibition reflects on interdependence, responsibility, and the ways individual actions can shape wider environments. Through a range of approaches and perspectives, the artists explore how living in relation to others can generate care, connection, and lasting impact.
After Nature
After Nature was a group exhibition of 15 artists exploring how art is made in relation to — and in reflection of — the natural world in a time of environmental crisis. Following a very successful showing at CLOSE in Somerset, the exhibition transferred to Proposition in Bethnal Green, where it ran from November 2025 to February 2026. Curated by Ben Tufnell, the show brought together internationally recognised artists and emerging voices working across sculpture, ceramics, drawing, painting and photography, examining ideas of nature “after nature” — both as artistic imitation of natural forms and as a response to living in a post-natural world shaped by climate emergency and ecological uncertainty.
A Perceptual Zone
A Perceptual Zone was a month-long exploration of dance in dialogue with the elements, born from bodies attuning to land, season, and storm, coalescing in continual contact with the biosphere. Dance arose from the necessity to respond—moving in step with shifting conditions, shaped by the forces of nature—proposing an ethics of listening and being-with, and unfolding as a communion with what exceeds the self. Throughout the month, artists Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome, Nicol Vizioli, Nissa Nishikawa, Kapila Venu, Lewis Walker, and Yen-Ching Lin offered workshops, installations, film, photography, and performance within the galleries—gestures that honoured the earth while remembering dance as both instinct and offering.
Locus of Voices
Locus of Voices was a group exhibition conceived in a time of escalating planetary crisis, offering a vision for resilience and renewal — frameworks and calls to move against systems of extraction and division. Embracing the perspective that unity is not uniformity, and that like biodiversity it flourishes through multiplicity, the exhibition brought together a constellation of artists whose tactile and temporal encounters with materiality illuminated biospheric rhythms across installation, sculpture, dance, painting, music, film, and demonstrations of stewardship. Through sensory and relational practices, the exhibition invited heightened awareness of our responsibilities within the living cosmos, engaging somatic disciplines, animistic philosophies, experiential abstraction, and spiritual neuroaesthetics to explore how interconnectedness speaks and how reciprocity, listening, and care might cultivate ecological awareness grounded in our shared ecology.
Pansentient Arboriculture
Pansentient Arboriculture was a solo exhibition by Sol Bailey Barker, presented at Proposition’s cultural hub in Bethnal Green, exploring the deep entangled relationship between human beings and trees. Reflecting on how trees had lived on Earth long before human life appeared, nurturing us and providing air, food, shelter, and materials for progress, the exhibition framed trees as metaphors for our own lives — mirroring our need for protection and foundations, our yearning for freedom and growth, and our place within a far-reaching community of beings. Decoding our relationship with the arboreal world, it examined agroforestry and ecological preservation, drawing on the folklore of Albion to bridge to ancestral knowledge. Through sculptures carved from Sussex trees, Bailey Barker highlighted their centrality to human wellbeing, proposing forests as sentient and aware, and offering a vision of a harmonious future rooted in Ancient Futurism, Druidic knowledge, land stewardship, and modern technologies.
Terra Nexus
Terra Nexus was an ambitious immersive exhibition that brought together 25 international artists within a sprawling, labyrinthine environment at Proposition Studios. The show explored humanity’s relationship with the biosphere at its core, seeking to subvert dominant anthropocentric narratives and reframe how we understand our place within ecological systems. Across a series of interconnected rooms and installations, visitors encountered playful and often surreal works — from mushrooms sprouting out of Medusa heads to meditation pods, giant worms, and comic-book-style mazes. Each space offered a different lens on ecology, encouraging exploration, curiosity, and reflection. The exhibition blended humour, imagination and critical environmental themes to create a richly layered, sensorial experience.
