In the Studio: Thomas Allen
Thomas Allen, born in 1989, creates detailed dreamlike scenes that capture the fascinating allure of hypnagogia—the transitional state between being awake and falling asleep. His artwork explores the border between abstract and figurative, driven by rhythmic patterns that reflect the flow of time.
Based in the UK, Allen's practice spans studio work, site-specific projects, and research-driven conceptualization informed by sociological theory and diverse fields like renaissance foraging and contemporary food packaging.

Leading Figures: Mounir Fatmi
Born in 1970 in Tangier, Mounir Fatmi’s artistic journey began amidst discarded objects at Casabarata's flea market.
Fatmi uses outdated materials to critique the technological and ideological systems that frame our lives: antenna cables and VHS tapes are reimagined as conceptual art pieces, questioning contemporary issues from technology’s impact to historical injustices.
Globally exhibited, Fatmi’s art has earned accolades including the Grand Prix Léopold Sédar Senghor (2006) and the Silver Plane Prize (2020).

Virtual Exhibition:
Conrad Atkinson (1940-2022)
'Dreams of Permanence: Hopes of Transience'
Installed in a small Yorkshire village where the Brontë sisters were born, this exhibition revisits works of the late Conrad Atkinson.
Drawings of the sisters’ imaginary shopping trolleys, poems woven into flowing carpets, and illuminated reclaimed window-frame sculptures, conjure an immersive journey through literature and time.
Often political in his work, Atkinson’s resonance with immigration is interwoven within the thread of language and the heritage of carpet weaving - this Yorkshire region being the historic industrial heartland of textile mills and home to Bangladeshis originally from the Sylhet weaving region.
