I'm Here But I'm Not a Cat
2023-09-21 12:00 - 18:00 | SET Kensington, 7-17 Ansdell Street, London, United Kingdom
SET Kensington, 7-17 Ansdell St, London W8 5BN

Private View: Thursday 21st September, 6–9pm

Open: 22nd September – 1st October 2023 (open 12–6pm daily, closed Monday)

I’M HERE BUT I’M NOT A CAT is a group show which takes its title from a viral video of a Zoom court case, in which a lawyer is unable to disable a filter that makes him appear as a talking cat while he nervously repeats “I’m here live, I am not a cat”. This video seems to encapsulate the condition we all find ourselves in today: an existence dominated by the prominence of the screen and an uneasy blurring of the virtual and the real.

Growing from Zoom conversations between the artists during the pandemic – which dramatically increased our time spent in the immaterial zone of the screen – this show explores the tension between the digital and the material through works that express a desire to reconnect with material reality and be physically present in the world.

I’M HERE BUT I’M NOT A CAT features a group of artists whose strong background in moving image began to expand into other media during the pandemic, each grapples with the dominance of the screen in our lives and the proliferation of digital images, while seeking to also return to the physicality of making and being.

With a shared interest in the tension between imagined and lived realities, Daniel & Clara’s and Adonia Bouchehri’s work explores subjective experiences of place – real, imagined and virtual – across a breadth of cultural backgrounds and perspectives. Duncan Poulton’s digital collages bear witness to our hyper-connected, screen-fuelled state of constant disorientation, whilst Edwin Rostron’s intuitive paintings and hand-drawn animations deal with ideas of metamorphosis and multiplicity.

This exhibition will include moving image, sculpture, painting, collage and photographs from exhibiting artists:

Book Launch: Lovebug by Daisy Lafarge
2023-10-12 19:30 - 23:00 | SET Social, 55a Nigel Road, London, SE15 4NP, United Kingdom
Join Peninsula Press and the think big, read library at SET Social for the launch of Lovebug by Daisy Lafarge: readings by Francis Jones, Holly Pester and Nisha Ramayya. Music by Han (Boosterhooch).

Free to attend, RSVP here

Lovebug The pathogen arrives anyway and takes a seat at the table. Conditioned to welcome damage, I am curious about this uninvited guest. You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat.

In Lovebug, Daisy Lafarge explores metaphors of love and disease as she seeks to understand human vulnerability and our intimacy with microbial life.

Turning to microbiology, mysticism, and psychoanalysis – as well as the raw materials of love and life – Lafarge navigates the uncomfortable intimacy between the human body and the many bacteria, viruses, and parasites to which it is host.

Lovebug is a book about the poetics of infection, and about how we can learn to live with multispecies ambivalence. How might we forge non-phobic relationships to our ‘little beasts’? How might we rewild our imaginations? In weaving the personal with the pathological, Lovebug complicates the idea of coherent selfhood, revealing life as a site of radical vulnerability and an ongoing negotiation with limit.

R﻿eaders:Daisy Lafarge is a writer based in Glasgow, UK. Born in Hastings, she has lived in Scotland since 2011. She is the author of the novel Paul (Granta 2021; Riverhead 2022), which won a Betty Trask Award and was a New York Times Editor’s Choice, and the poetry collection Life Without Air (Granta 2020), which was shortlisted for the T.S. Eliot Prize and awarded Scottish Poetry Book of the Year. Lovebug (Peninsula 2023) is her latest work.

Francis Jones is a writer and artist from Ireland, living in London. Their pamphlet sacrificial fabric was published by SPAM in 2021. They wrote a short experimental film “I Thought I Hated U, Moon Snail” in collaboration with artist Jack Hogan for the final exhibition of the Whitney ISP, New York, which was also screened at the Colloquium Unpopular Culture at NYU in May 2023. They are currently working on an exhibition of writing, sound and illustration with Josie Perry, titled The Thieves – which is forthcoming at the Centre of Contemporary Arts, Glasgow in 2024.

Holly Pester is based in Colchester. Publications include a collection of poetry, Comic Timing (2021, Granta), a radio play, Eclogues for Idle Workers (2019, BBC Radio 4 and Distance No Object), a record, Common Rest (2016, Prototype) and archive fanfiction, Go to reception and ask for Sara in red felt tip, (2015, Book Works). The Lodgers, a novel, is due out in February ’24 also with Granta.

Nisha Ramayya grew up in Glasgow and now lives in London. Her poetry collection States of the Body Produced by Love (2019) is published by Ignota Books. Her second collection will be published by Granta in 2024. Tentatively called Now Let’s Take a Listening Walk, it hazards a musical journey through history, myth, and sci fi.

D﻿J:Han (Boosterhooch) is a DJ, producer, performer, sound designer, and healthcare worker based in Glasgow. She is a resident DJ at La Cheetah, runs Events Research Programme (a monthly subscription-based events series that focuses mostly on local experimental musicians), and edits radical healthcare magazine The Guts of It.

Body Mapping Workshop
2023-10-21 14:00 - 16:30 | SET Social, 55a Nigel Road, London, SE15 4NP, United Kingdom
Body Mapping at SET Social.

Tickets £8 or pay what you can.

Led by @elizabethalster. Eventbrite tickets here 💚

‘Body Mapping’ is the tracing around a person’s body to create a life-sized outline, which is then filled in using mixed media processes such as collage, text, painting, colouring etc. This process creates an image that allows its maker to represent multiple aspects of their physical and emotional experience.

During this relaxed 2 hour ‘Body Mapping’ workshop, participants are encouraged to consider how their history, community and emotional state affect their physical experience. Through the use of colour, pattern, text, and symbols, each participant can depict their inner worlds onto their body map to ‘see’ / ‘understand’ themselves + others in the workshop more clearly. (All materials are supplied!)

Fruit and Flesh
2023-10-27 17:00 - 20:00 | SET Lewisham, Unit 1, Lewisham Retail Park, London, SE13 7RZ, United Kingdom
Fruit and Flesh: A group show by Dio Dunbar & Jaffar Aly

“Bringing together a dynamic blend of styles and mediums, and with the help of sketchbooks, doodles, unfinished pieces and poems, Lewisham based artists Dio Dunbar & Jaffar Aly take a playful dive into the process of portraiture.

In this vibrant exhibition, each artist cracks open the bones of their creative process, unveiling to onlookers the inner workings and charisma of their art, and in turn, themselves.

So much wonder and beauty can be found within the task of creation. This process of producing a finished piece is rarely linear, takes on many forms, is often ugly and sometimes transcends a page. Behind clean cut lines and fluid blending is a world of ideas stored in miscellaneous places, and in this duo show, the artists intend to invite you inside.

Following his 6-month residency at SET Lewisham, Dio decided to honour the progress and development he made both technically and mentally as an artist, and so “Fruit and Flesh” was conceived. Together with fellow artist Jaffar Aly, he curated this exhibition in response to his rediscovered love for creating.”

2023-11-23 00:00 - 2023-12-03 23:59 | SET Ealing, 105-113 Broadway, London, W13 9BE, United Kingdom
An exhibition of sculptures, works on paper and original music by Irish artist, harpist and singer Sheila Moylan.

Private View: Thursday 23 November 6-9pmOpen by appointment: 23 November – 3 December 2023 (email info@sheilamoylanart.com to make an appointment)

Performances: Saturday 25 November 4-6 PM featuring experimental musicians Flooded Access and Georgina Brett

About the exhibition:

A long-term studio holder at SET, Sheila’s art weaves in and reinterprets the spiral, lozenge and circle designs inherent in Irish megalithic art, which dates back to 3,000 BCE, drawing upon its myths and poetry. The exhibition’s title is drawn from the line “I am the God who puts fire in the head,” from the oldest poem in the Irish language. The faded marks on the stones are brought to life through graphic art informed by Sheila’s research into the ancient art’s design principles. Beyond her visual art, Sheila is a composer and performer of her own music. For this exhibition, she’ll collaborate with musicians who have drawn inspiration from the exhibition’s themes to create a series of one-off live musical compositions.

About Sheila Moylan:

Sheila has always made art, whether it was making props as window display artist and poster designer in Dublin or later when she emigrated to London working with clay and plaster casting on her Fine Art and Psychology B.A. at U.E.L. After a long career of supporting excluded young people, – including running an alternative to GCSE where art was the main subject – she became a self employed musician and art tutor in 2015. During the pandemic she was furloughed and began making art full time in her living room. Her yearning for her homeland meant connecting through the monuments and myths online, and began her research and passion for the neolithic art of Ireland.
