🗓 Exhibition Opening Shall we say the walk is cancelled? 📍 571 Oxford Road Gallery, Reading 🕚 Opening Friday 18 July 3-6pm On 29 June 2025, three artist-led groups began a synchronised walk: 🌲 Berlin (Mittelheide) – led by Harri Kraievets @garrykrayevets 🌿 Kyiv (Pushcha-Vodytsia) – led by Teta Tsybulnyk @technicolor.dreams 🌳 Reading (Lousehill Copse) – led by Pavlo Kerestey @pavlokerestey Though walking in separate cities, they moved in the same direction - west - holding each other in mind, as if crossing three landscapes at once. The walks unfolded under the imaginary of Antarctica, the last collectively governed territory on Earth, as a space for reflecting on new forms of community, memory, and language. At 14:55 Berlin time (13:55 Reading / 15:55 Kyiv), the groups connected by singing from a shared score, a choral act of synchronisation without technology. 🎥 The exhibition presents traces of the journey: video, sound, writing, plant samples, and a mosaic installation created in the forest. Join us to explore walking as speculative connection - across time, distance, and terrain Photo credit: @oh_marusyn Thanks to the ‘scattered community” program, supported by Insha Osvita, Asortymentna Kimnata supported by Robert Bosch Stiftung.

Overload 21 June 2025 → 11 July 2025 🖼️Jason Kwong & Yingying Zheng, 2025 Jason Kwong & Yingying Zheng Overload is a duo exhibition featuring Hong Kong-born artist Jason Kwong and Spanish Chinese artist Yingying Zheng, both of whom share personal histories of migration and cultural displacement. Drawing on minimalist and abstract visual languages, the exhibition explores the emotional tensions, ruptures, and realignments that arise from movement across borders—both physical and psychological. Inspired by the metaphor of a binary star system—two celestial bodies in constant gravitational relation—Overload considers how individuals navigate the competing forces of memory, identity, and belonging. In this context, home is not fixed but shifting: a fragile centre of gravity shaped by longing, absence, and reconstruction. Jason Kwong investigates the concept of “horizontality” in a postcolonial context, using materials such as Xuan paper, ink, and plaster to create meditative surfaces that reflect a quiet search for balance. Zheng Yingying, working with geometric abstraction and layered perspectives, explores how identity is shaped and distorted by both inner experience and external perception. Together, their works trace an emotional topography of migration that is both intimate and resonant. Rather than providing answers, Overload invites viewers to reflect on questions of movement and meaning: What stabilises us in moments of overload? In the orbit between here and elsewhere—what do we call home?
