Join us on Friday 2 August 2024 for a late-night opening of Babeworld x utopian_realism’s exhibition, ‘Love is Real, and it’s Inside Of My Computer.’ This your last weekend to see the show, so be sure not to miss it!
Told through the eyes of a neurodivergent coded character, the exhibition plays on the structures of the gallery and art world, asking us to question and renegotiate how we define what is considered ’new’, ‘exciting’, and ‘taste making’ in the arts.
Based on Babeworld’s lived experience as an intersectionally disabled collective, this commission navigates the fine line between mental productivity and mental burnout through an experiential understanding of disability whilst exposing the alienation of marginalised folk in the art world.
We’ll be open 6–8pm for a regular First Friday opening, so stop by and join us for a drink. But if busy First Friday’s aren’t your thing, we’ll also be open 5–6pm on August 2 for a quiet opening, where there will be no bar, and we’ll ask visitors to wear a mask and no perfume.
Access: Please note that Grand Union Gallery is located up two flights of stairs. Alcohol will be served in the gallery space. Light and sound levels within the exhibition can be changed upon request.
