From September 2015, Painting Research at Wimbledon will have its own exhibition space at Delta House Studios, Riverside Road SW17. The space will be inaugurated on 15 October 2015 from 5:30 pm with a launch event for Punk in the Suburbs, our research thematic.

The first show in the space, Lurk/Destroy, drawing upon this theme, will be co-curated by artists, Zoë Mendelson and Joey Ryken and open in October 2015.  The exhibition will focus on the suburbs as a space for co-existing fantasies of failure and production. It will consider how dissemination – via the ‘zine – creates a centre from an outskirt.

Artists include Emma Talbot, Sam Dargan, Geraint Evans, Tom Helyar-Cardwell, Joey Ryken and Esther Planas. The show runs alongside a related programme of events at Wimbledon College of Arts.
