Exhibition preview: Saturday 16 May 2-5pm all welcome 'the fillers the arms and the eyes in the eyes' Anna Barham Peggy Franck Alessandra Spranzi Barham, Franck and Spranzi each explore how images and materials move between formats, scales and contexts. Printed matter, found pages, photographic images and everyday materials appear as elements within larger spatial compositions. During the exhibition opening the artists will make a series of collaborative and improvised prints with Good Studio and their risograph machine. The process will allow images, gestures and materials from the exhibition to circulate between the artists’ practices in real time. Arcade's collaboration with Good Studio reflects our developing model for the gallery as a working space as well as a place of display: somewhere works can be shown, made, tested and shared. image sequence: @banana_harm@peggyfranck_ @alessandra_spranzi @good_studio_riso

Arcade is built through collaboration.
 We’re working alongside organisations who are already doing vital work across culture, community, and access:
 → @roadworksmedia 
→ @goingpicking@cultureaccess 
 Different approaches, shared values.
 More soon.

Arcade is an artist-driven gallery in South East London. We’re working towards a model where culture, community, and economy sit closer together; not at scale, but in ways that are immediate, visible, and shared. More to come.
