Saturnine employs the Main gallery, this body of work utilizes acrylic paintings and screen prints to explore the victim/victimizer relationships. Stylistically, Cullinan applies Op Art devices to figurative painting; this unsettling visual effect creates a tension between a sense of intrigue and repulsion.

Steve Bandoma will be exhibiting white penis in the Long Gallery. white penis includes an installation and new photographic works created while Bandoma was in Zurich. Bandoma born in the Democratic Republic of Congo interrogates politics, power and colonialism

Upstairs in the Artsstrip D Rooster makes an entrance with his first solo exhibition Cigpix. Hundreds of ball point pen draws the size of playing cards line the gallery wall with obsessive mark making and fanciful explorations.
