In support of:
Working in a variety of media and with different approaches to their artistic practices, these artists come together here for their connection with the music industry, which manifests in both tangible and seemingly imperceptible ways in the exhibited works. Through a series of exclusive statements these artists share insights into the ways in which music and music venues have touched their lives.
Come Together, as an exhibition and philanthropic initiative, marks the continuation of the gallery’s commitment to working collaboratively and for the benefit of the wider creative community. Thus, part of the proceeds from the sale of works will be donated to the Music Venue Trust to support them in their endeavours to protect grassroots music venues around the UK.

“Music was a cornerstone of my upbringing and a way of escaping the dullness of childhood suburbia. In my teens, I sought out the sounds of new music on the Internet, which influenced my creativity. Now, as an adult in the city, certain DJs draw me to bars/clubs/raves – that in turns connects with the people that frequent these spaces."

"I have always been interested in how images and sounds/music can relate to/change each other, like when you’re on a train looking out of the window with headphones on and everything you’re looking at out of the window becomes more cinematic."

“My first clear memory of music was, as a child, being carsick whilst listening to John Denver on the car tape player during a family camping holiday. This odd epiphany was quickly supplanted by a fascination in Ian Dury after seeing him for the first time on TV. As I entered my teens, hours were spent compiling cassettes from radio shows and VHS tapes from MTV. And then, there it was like a bat to the head, ‘Jack Your Body’ by Steve “Silk” Hurley, followed soon after by the strobing video of ‘Wrote for Luck’ by the Happy Mondays. Play, rewind, repeat. A few years on, clubs beckoned, like the Jazz Rooms, Escape and Zap in Brighton. But, it wasn’t until my 20s that live music gigs took precedent… and I’m so very glad they did."
