But Dearer Still Is Truth (group show)
23rd Sept — 14th Oct 2023
As a thought pendulum swings between what is real and what is not, an attempt to think our way around sincerity arises. In this endeavour to bring light to the truth, an awareness that what is true can be born from within, through our own explorations and reflections, in this, a dearness to ourselves and others offers us an epiphany.
PLATO and WARBLING present But Dearer Still Is Truth, a group show co-curated by Diogo Ramalho, founder of Plato and Robyn Graham, founder of Warbling. Warbling is an artist-run project in London, UK, presenting artists from all over the world, those outside the large cities, alongside artists who are based in London. Bringing together a programme that is driven by the necessitate for artists who usually share their work predominantly online to exhibit their practice in person, within a physical space and as part of a growing international community of artists.
With works by: Eduardo António, Marco Bizzarri, Polam Chan, Mircea Cuza, Patrick Michael Fitzgerald, Kjersti Foyn, Ana Frois, Jamie Hammill, Aileen Harvey, Oliver Hoffmeister, Ilyas Kassam, Carolina Lino, João Salvador, Sébastien Pauwels and Filipa Tojal.
