Public Life: Reimagining Art in London Gallery

Public Life Exhibition

Public Life explores the interplay between personal expression and public perception through an engaging group exhibition at Toxic Arts Gallery, located in London’s East End. This event showcases a diverse array of international artists, each offering a fresh perspective on contemporary art.

Harry Barrat from Toxic Arts describes the gallery’s approach, noting, “By utilizing dynamic and unconventional spaces, we aim to dismantle traditional barriers and create a more inviting atmosphere for everyday viewers.” The exhibition’s title is a nod to its venue’s history: the Public Life nightclub, once a converted public toilet that became a hotspot for the mid-2000s party scene. The exhibition embraces the venue’s gritty legacy, reflecting its past as a haven for underground raves and energetic after-parties.

Public Life: Art That Defies Convention

In contrast to the pristine white walls typical of traditional galleries, Public Life features art that resonates with a playful disregard for convention. Samuel Almansa’s portraits depict “devilish cuteness” through porcelain cherubs, while Rosie Clements combines rave photography with UV prints on bubble wrap. The exhibition includes a variety of works, from mischievous Teletubbies paintings to AI-inspired metallic sculptures, capturing a blend of subversion and whimsy.

Public Life is open to the public for free from August 23 to 25 at the former Public Life nightclub near Spitalfields Market.
