Assembly previews at The Old Gym, Rye Creative Centre on the 3rd of May 2024. Assembly is a compelling and timely exhibition curated to reflect a new geography of contemporary art practice as artists shift their focus away from the capital. Members of the artist-led group Contemporary British Painting come together from across the UK and Ireland with invited artists from Rye and the surrounding counties. Rye is uniquely situated at the mid-point of the creative artery that extends along the South Coast from Brighton to Margate linking important public art institutions, and independent, and artist-led venues. Assembly creates a platform for engagement and dialogue with an exciting range of artists whose energy, and significant and diverse histories of making, animate this exhibition.
