Aubin Gallery
-
09 May - 16 June
This exhibition unites six artists – all with an interest in our national identity, and the English countryside – who are questioning what it means to be English in the 21st century.
The United Kingdom is slowly dissolving, with both the impending Scottish referendum on independence – and our faltering position within Europe – causing national discomfort. The emergence of the coalition government is symptomatic of the fact that trusted left-right structures, represented by Conservative and Labour politicians, no longer seem relevant.
Where does this political dilemma leave our collective sense of English national identity?
Exhibiting Artists:Claire Clutterbuck, Dmitri Galitzine, Mary Jane Opie, Simon Roberts, Andy Sewell and Kraig Wilson
Curators: Craig Patrick Edwards and Derek Curtis. -
The Aubin Gallery is a collaborative venture with Aubin & Wills and leading British artist and curator Stuart Semple. The gallery hosts an innovative program of guest curators and artist run projects supporting up and coming talent.

Owl and Pussycat
OAP has jettisoned the scruffiness that won it cool points with the anti-hipster set in favour of an admirably understated makeover. Low lighting, vintage furniture, black paint & T-shirted, tattooed staff suit the 17th-century tavern - but so does the streak of surprising decadence about the first-floor dining room's menu & sensibly priced wine list.
Real ales & a spacious terrace point up the pub's everyman appeal.
