Art Week 2025: Exeter Phoenix Exhibition

About

(in)visible

As a photographer who has struggled with their mental health, I created an image to illustrate my experience of anxiety and thought it would be interesting to work with other people to create images that describe their mental health. I have worked with young people attending Action East Devon's Headlight groups in Ottery St Mary, Axminster and Seaton to create images based on their experiences.

"Life" and "Movement": William Luz

William Luz is an artist and educator who is concerned with drawing, in that he cares about drawing. Most recently he is interested in how he can draw without making drawings. He makes work about drawing, in a way to think about the personal and performative activity of art making.

The Slightest Gesture: Tabatha Andrews

The Slightest Gesture is an exhibition of new sculpture and moving image works by artist Tabatha Andrews, who is known for making immersive sculptural installations that question our reliance on sight, drawing attention to non-verbal communication, touch, movement and listening.

The exhibition forms part of a socially engaged, collaborative sculpture and dance project, in which the artist worked with learning-disabled and neurodiverse young adults in Exeter to explore diverse ways of being and moving in relation to sculpture and environment. It celebrates intimate, everyday gestures; of routine, of care, joy or exhaustion, translating them into sculptural form in a variety of tactile, haptic materials.
