What’s Already Going On is Palmer’s largest commission to date and the gallery’s most radical transformation yet. The exhibition resembles a university corridor, inspired by those located in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Warwick. At intervals, visitors are able to see into rooms that house sculptures, watch a never seen before film and encounter Palmer’s redacted text drawings. This exhibition marks a shift of the artist’s practice. Visitors will be able to discover a new body of work that departs from Palmer’s well–known text–based projects, including sculptures, drawings and moving image.
Wed 8 Feb 1pm – 2pm

After Emily Bronte, created by Inspector Sands
Adaptation conceived and developed by Lucinka Eisler and Ben Lewis
Written by Ben Lewis Directed by Lucinka Eisler
“We don’t in general take to foreigners here... unless they take to us first”
With characteristic humour, passion and pathos, an outstanding creative team offers a fresh take on the infamous love story of doomed heroes Catherine and Heathcliff, and their devastating impact across generations.
Drawing on Brontë’s piercing wit and intense emotion, Inspector Sands will throw the classic novel into sharp contemporary focus, exploring the way violence generates violence and the relationship between social alienation and radical behaviour.
Wuthering Heights will contain violence, passion, peril, social awkwardness, high winds, heavy rain, loud music (and quite a lot of mud).
