Next date: Thursday, 15 October 2026 | 12:00 AM - Tuesday, 3 November 2026

"What Possessed You", a body of work by Melissa Proposch, is a series of short stories and a composite portrait that dwells within the motivations underlying such malignant, unhinged, extractive and, ultimately, cowardly behaviour. Alongside it, Kir Larwill show, "hug it out", presents abstract paintings that are about the act of painting, the materiality of paint, and the ways in which making art is both an act faith and a gesture of peace.
