In autumn, the complex genre of still life art will be explored. Drawing from two of the UKs most significant collections, the Ingram Collection and the David and Indrė Roberts Collection, the exhibition will be a wide-ranging show of more than 30 works, charting an evolution through decades of fascination with the domestic objects and basics of everyday life.

Recipient of the Evelyn Williams Drawing Award in 2023, Isabel Rock (b.1981) will bring the winning exhibition design to Hastings Contemporary in a show that combines drawing, woodblock collages and interactive spaces. The space will draw on the exact dimensions and layout of a real cell found in HM Prison Bronzefield, the largest female-only prison in Europe, which was where Rock spent a month following a climate-change protest.
