Edition26

About this event

This exhibition brings together BACKLIT artist members presenting two works made at different points in their practice: one created before 2024 and a new work from 2025–2026. The exhibition invites audiences to encounter artistic practice as an evolving process shaped by time, experimentation and changing perspectives.

Across the exhibition, older and newer works are shown in dialogue. Recurring themes, shifts in material, changes in scale and revisited ideas reveal how practices develop and transform. Some pairings highlight significant change, while others trace quieter continuities that have shaped each artist’s trajectory.

EDITION26 offers a collective snapshot of artistic growth within and beyond BACKLIT, encouraging audiences to reflect on how creative practices unfold over time.

With Dan Shutt, Karen Chesney, Peter Chesney, Lois Sabet, Lucy Davies, Lucy Nelson, Marcia Porto, Natalie Chung, Neville Smith, Panya Banjoko, Sara Gaynor, Theodora Prassa and Xin Chen.
