Project 78 Gallery

Artist Jeb Haward returns to Project 78 with a series of charcoal drawings ‘Flower Arranging For Beginners’ Exhibition runs from today Thursday 14th May and continues until Saturday 30th May. There will be a closing event on the last day between 6-8pm. ‘These are drawings that explore the qualities of flowers and plants from my garden. It has come to life this spring and just to be in it is an extraordinarily rich experience. The challenge is to inject similar life into the drawings.’ Jeb Haward 2026 All drawings are available to purchase through the gallery DM for more information. Gallery open Wednesday - Saturday 11am-5pm #jebhaward #charcoaldrawings #project78gallery #stleonardsonsea sussexgallery

Many thanks @project78gallery @earlscliffe_art_history @patrickadam_jones for a fascinating visit to the current exhibition ‘The Surviving Object’. Nicholas was kind enough to talk us through his research, and the personal journey that has led to a fascination with works from a key moment in art history. Here, the act of curation acts as a prompt to build association: between works, to ask new questions of preservation as an arbiter of culture, and to look again at key figures in art history who have been overlooked. “The Surviving Object is an investigation on the boundary between the digital and physical presences of a group of historical etchings. The work explores the capacities of mirrored digital and material artefacts to project their forces into each other’s spaces effectively.’~ press release Thank you so much Nicholas for talking with our BA Fine Art students, and for Patrick and Project 78 for having us 🙏 #bafineart #researchtrip #thesurvivingobject #hastingsfineart #student

Over the years I have given a lot of artwork away for free, tried to sell for low amounts to make it for everyone, it’s a thing I do. However on the 6th June I will have 20 collage postcards on show @project78gallery for 1 day only. Crash, Bang, Wallop. For the time the gallery shows these works people will be able to bid on them (link in bio) in a sealed bid auction. This time it’s all about the money, it’s about art giving the artist something back. It’s a fairly rare occasion where I made something that is sellable and can go on a wall. I like them, I enjoyed doing them, and you can enjoy looking at them and potentially owning one. You will have to register to the site to be able to bid hence the heads up. They are all mounted in window mounts, dims on the site. 6th June, make sure you register to be in with a chance. All collages made from The Beano & Dandy. #collage #auction #thebeano #thedandy

Next up at Project 78 NICHOLAS SHADDICK The Surviving Object 🥂Opening Reception Saturday 4th April 6-8pm 🗓️Exhibition continues Saturday 2nd May 2026 🤗 All Welcome Adopting multiple positions on the spectrum of maker, collector, curator, historian and cultural theorist, Shaddick explores how artworks condense as physical symptoms under the blows and counter-blows of the digital hegemony. The Surviving Object is an investigation on the boundary between the digital and physical afterlives of a group of historical etchings. The work explores the capacities of mirrored digital and material artifacts to project their forces into each other’s space affectively. The Surviving Object is a space in which relationships between the material and digital presence of artworks might be intensified and experienced. The Surviving Object models the eruption of the past from within the present. The unexpected appearance of these phantoms embodies a symptom of frightening depths that have been incompletely repressed. The Surviving Object’s struggle is to make these repressed materials visible, especially in the containment or erasure of Elizabeth Ruth Escombe/Ruth Edwards, (1832–1907) and Clementina Elphinstone Fleeming/Clementina Maude, Viscountess Hawarden, (1822 -1865) whose thought can be traced as shaping presences within the work much as, in scientific research, the characteristics of apparently absent particles can be traced from their interactions with observable materials. www.survivingobject.art #nicholasshaddick #project78gallery #whatsoninsussex #stleonardsonsea #contemporary_art
