Never Sleep work in progress exhibition
14-17 Dec 2025, Chisenhale Project Space, London E3 5QR
The first work-in-progress exhibition took place at Chisenhale Project Space, a temporary project of Chisenhale Gallery.
Exhibition text:
Never Sleep brings together a series of new works and works-in-progress by a group of 20 students at London East Alternative Provision. Developed with artist Edwin Mingard, the group has explored the psychological and environmental pressures affecting young people and considered assumptions about who gets to be an artist.
Conceived as an imaginative extension of the workshop setting, Never Sleep exists as an expanded installation across three rooms of 371 Roman Road, a temporary project space connected to Chisenhale Gallery.
Moving and still images and 3-D objects are presented in situ. Evoking the often-improvisational nature of their production, these fragments play with pose and projection to surface clues about the artists’ distinctive personalities. Never Sleep is an invitation to an experience outside the mainstream, and an introduction to the artists on their own terms.
