Never Sleep brings together a series of new works and works-in-progress by a group of 20 students at London East Alternative Provision. Developed with artist Edwin Mingard, the group has explored the psychological and environmental pressures affecting young people and considered assumptions about who gets to be an artist.
Moving and still images and 3D objects are presented in situ. Evoking the often-improvisational nature of their production, these fragments play with pose and projection to surface clues about the artists' distinctive personalities. Never Sleep is an invitation to an experience outside the mainstream, and an introduction to the artists on their own terms.
This exhibition is the second iteration of the project, presenting work made over 2024-25 by the group.
Never Sleep is a Chisenhale offsite exhibition, supported by East End Community Foundation and Freelands Foundation
Exhibition opening hours: Wednesday 8th to Saturday 11th October, 11am – 6pm FREE
Private view: Thursday 9th October 6pm - 8:30pm
