8th of May - 1st of June
Soho Revue is pleased to present Inside:Outside, a group exhibition that explores a series of poetic dualities; interior and exterior, memory and materiality, visible and invisible. The works in the exhibition are an investigation of environment (both natural and domestic) through memory and the impression of a past human presence. All painters address what it means to actualise memory on canvas, exploring the difference between memory and dreams, reality and its romanticisation.
