HIT & RUN is a one-day exhibition built around movement, momentum, and temporary takeover. Across three consecutive days, the space will completely transform each day. Artists arrive in the morning, install work in the space, exhibit throughout the day, meet audiences and other artists during an evening viewing, then deinstall the same night.
HIT & RUN leans into the energy of the temporary pop up culture: A show that appears quickly, takes over, and disappears again. An encounter that only exists if you were there for it.
Participating artists will be programmed into one of the two days based on shared themes, visual conversations, and connections between submitted works.
We’re especially interested in hearing from emerging artists, students, and recent graduates looking for a space to test ideas, show work, meet people, exhibit in a gallery setting, and be part of a fast-moving exhibition format.
We’re looking for:
wall based works, ready to hang
freestanding objects
small scale sculptural works
Works must be no larger than 1m wide
Hanging works must be ready with appropriate fixings!

In Excess explores repetition, accumulation, and abundance through works shaped by sustained labor, serial processes, and obsessive gestures. Across painting, sculpture, photography, video, print, and text-based practices, the exhibition considers excess as both method and condition. Dense compositions, repeated forms, and amassed materials reflect the rhythms of consumption, habit, desire, and productivity embedded in everyday life. The works oscillate between order and chaos, devotion and exhaustion, asking what emerges through continual return and prolonged acts of making.
Collectively, In Excess examines how repetition can become a way of measuring time, testing limits, and persisting beyond necessity.
Exhibiting Artists:
Victoria Gong, Youngsuk Oh, Jack Sanders,
Noah Mashiak, Harshs Pratap Singh Bist,
Max L Adams, Josie Rae Turnbull, Xueqing Liang,
Gigi Zhang, Wendi Wu

Loose Ends brings together practices that understand making as an ongoing, temporal process rather than a finite outcome. The works presented occupy states of transition, where form remains open and material processes are allowed to unfold. In these moments, matter registers forces such as gravity, repetition, fragility, and return, situating the work within time rather than outside it.
The exhibition frames incompletion not as a deficit but as a productive condition of practice. Influenced by process based and post-minimal approaches, the works remain open to revision and reconfiguration, shaped by spatial context, embodied encounter, and contingent conditions. Development occurs through iteration, testing, and adaptation, with each presentation understood as one articulation among many.
Across the exhibition, making operates as negotiation between intention and circumstance, structure and indeterminacy. Traces of process, tests, revisions, translations, pauses, all remain visible, embedding duration within the work itself.
Loose Ends foregrounds exhibition making as a provisional event within longer trajectories of practice.

Communicating Culture, Identity and Emotion
Moving in Space, Place and Threshold.
13th - 15th December 2025
The Annex - 1 Tiverton Street, Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6NT
Soft Ground: Show One brings together contemporary artists whose practices probe the unstable conditions of culture, identity, and emotion within an increasingly hybrid physical–digital landscape. Their works examine how language structures perception, how technological interfaces recalibrate intimacy, and how spatial experience unfolds across both material and virtual terrains. In foregrounding thresholds, between bodies, screens, and environments, the exhibition echoes Bachelard’s claim that “space that has been seized upon by the imagination cannot remain indifferent space.” Each work becomes an active site of inquiry, mapping fluid modes of belonging and proposing new conceptual frameworks for navigating the porous realities of contemporary life.
Exhibiting artists:
ChenQi, Chi Ching Yum, David Alexander, Emma Denby, Evgeniia Kochevanova (ZUPINK), Finka Jue, Flâneuse du Mal, Lili Shen, Mengyao Li, Mia Ribić, Ornela Aliaj, Pei, Shaw Liu, Shuang Xia, Yu Yu (Spencer), Yuning Huang

Soft Ground Show 2
Reflecting Memory and Time
Grounding in Nature and Environment
16th - 18th December 2025
The Annex - 1 Tiverton Street, Elephant & Castle, London SE1 6NT
Soft Ground: Show Two brings together contemporary artists whose practices probe the interwoven terrains of landscapes and nature, along with memory and time. Their works examine how environments, cities, and imagined terrains, illuminate ecological rhythms and the entanglements of human and nonhuman life. While also exploring the sedimentation of experience, revealing how memory, duration, and material traces shape perception and presence. In tracing these layers, the exhibition echoes James Elkins’ insight that “Art does not merely depict; it suspends time and allows the viewer to inhabit multiple durations simultaneously.” Each work becomes an active site of inquiry, mapping fluid modes of ecological and temporal engagement and inviting reflection on how we inhabit and imagine the worlds around and within us.
