Take a moment to pause, look, and listen 👀
Arranged around the concrete fountain in Jenine Marsh: new wishes. are plastic buckets filled with different contents. Pumps within them create subtle movement, as the contents gently circle one another, producing soft clinks as they occasionally meet.
The buckets themselves echo the idea of a wishing well. Look a little closer, and you’ll notice coins accumulating at the bottom of each one, alongside small messages that highlight dualities of contemporary life.
Here, wishing invites us to reflect on how hopes for a better world persist despite the conditions of early 21st-century capitalism.
new wishes. is on show at the De La Warr Pavilion until 31 May. Open daily, entry is free - learn more and plan your visit at dlwp.com.
Let’s take a closer look at our spring exhibitions 👀✨
While Jenine Marsh: new wishes. centres on a 26m-wide concrete fountain, there are plenty of additional elements throughout the gallery to explore.
💫Bronze counterfeit coins, handmade and altered by the artist through squashing, folding, and piercing.
📰Urban debris such as newspaper cuttings, junk mail, and receipts can be found pasted across the floor.
🕊️Taxidermy pigeons carrying small messages of hope.
Take a look for yourself by visiting the exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion. Open every day until 31 May, new wishes. is free to visit, learn more at dlwp.com

Why create half a fountain? ⛲
new wishes. is an exhibition by Canadian artist, Jenine Marsh, currently showing at the De La Warr Pavilion.
It centres on a large-scale fountain built within the gallery space, appearing in a state that may be read as under construction, out of service or in decline.
Created in dialogue with the Pavilion's architecture, the fountain is presented as a half rather than a whole, at certain times of day, the fountain is ‘completed’ by the reflective window adjacent, suggesting an imaginary space into which dreams and desires are projected.
Open seven days a week, new wishes. is free to visit. Learn more about the exhibition and plan your visit at dlwp.com
💫Have you ever made a wish? 💫
Jenine Marsh: new wishes. explores the familiar act of throwing coins into fountains and wells - a tradition found across the world.
Starting from this shared ritual, the exhibition looks more closely at the act of making a wish. It asks us the question: are these wishes truly unique, or do many of them repeat the same hopes and desires?
On show until May 31, see the exhibition at the De La Warr Pavilion. Open seven days a week, entry to the gallery is free. Learn more and plan your visit at dlwp.com

From Karen's text: The exhibition borrows its title from Baudelaire’s infamous book, which explores themes of death, a fascination with evil, and the search for a utopian ideal. Often translated into English as The Flowers of Evil, the French title can also be read as Wrong Flowers, Flowers of Illness, or Flowers of Pain. Mal is an ambiguous word in French. It asks: what can be made from human pain, cruelty, longing, and greed?
