NOTHING, IS STILL THE LAST FOREVER

Solo exhibition by Kate Genever

6-15 June

Public view Thursday 5th June 6-9pm

open on Friday/Saturdays 12-4pm and by appointment



Nothing, is Still the Last Forever is the first exhibition featuring a new wall drawing by Kate Genever, created from charcoal made from fallen wood in a forest during her residency with The Wireworks Project at Shining Cliff Woods in 2022. The artist describes the work as an exploration of the impossibility of reducing materials to nothing: “The project saw me create a factory where I processed materials from the woods into something else—charcoal was one part of it. I’m interested in Metempsychosis and the belief that a soul never dies; it just moves into another form.” At General Practice, the work will take its next form as she covers the walls with the charcoal she made, up to the height of her reach.

 

Kate Genever is an artist who makes sense of the world through drawing, viewing it as a disposition that reveals our connections with materials, nature, and each other. Her approach is one of paying attention, drawing from, with, and together. Genever’s exhibitions include We believe in love not luck, Hull (2024/5), A tentative piece of ourselves we stake at the boundary, Tomar, Portugal (2024), and We have found in the ashes what we lost in the fire, METAL, Peterborough (2024). She led Together we are powerful at the National Centre for Craft and Design (2023)and her ongoing project, "Encyclopedia of Us," began in Hull in 2019. She resides in South Lincolnshire and can be found online at kategenever.comor on Instagram @kategenever.

 



 

LAST FOREVER, THE STILL IS NOTHING 

Epoh Beech, Kate Genever, Madara Vimba  

21-28 June 2025

Public view Thursday 19th June 6-9pm

open on Friday/Saturdays 12-4pm and by appointment

 

Last Forever, the Still is Nothing features a sculpture and performance by Madara Vimba and an animation by Epoh Beech, installed in a visual conversation with Kate Genever’s wall drawing. The exhibition acts like a palimpsest, preserving the ghostly traces of the artists' work in one space by intertwining layers of artistic expression. It aims to prompt multidimensional and multimedia dialogues through these relationships, aspiring to uncover hidden histories and contemporary reflections.

 

Beech’s work is a unique fusion of myth, memory and imagination. She reaches deep into the unconscious, both her own and that of her audiences, aiming ultimately to stimulate a healing process of synthesis. Vimba’s work was originally created as the unseen foundation for her piece Rooted Patterns (2024, this large-scale foundation supported a series of self-holding fabric sculptures - an essential element later abandoned, its presence fading into ghostliness. Now reintroduced in Last Forever, the Still is Nothing, the sculpture evolves through live performance, questioning what it becomes when the forgotten is brought back into view.   

 

Epoh Beech works in drawing, hand-drawn animation and latterly wallpaper design. Her award-winning hand-drawn animation The Masque of Blackness – Reimagined (2018) was monumentally projected onto The National Theatre Fly Tower on London’s Southbank in September 2018 as part of The Thames Festival. Epoh lives and works in London and Lincolnshire and exhibits in the UK and Northern Germany. To view her work, please see epohbeech.co.uk or @epohbeech on Instagram

Madara Vimba’s practice explores her Latvian heritage, intertwining threads of folklore, personal narratives, and cultural myths. Embedded within Latvian culture are craft traditions and deep-rooted stories. For her, these traditions are not merely artefacts but vital, tactile connections to her Latvian identity - an identity she feels is gradually deteriorating during her time in the UK. She creates sculptural works she terms as wearable sculptures - pieces that exist both as autonomous objects and as elements activated through performance. These forms speak to transformation, memory, and presence, occupying a space between the body and material, visibility and disappearance.

Is Forever Still the Last, Nothing

An exhibition of drawing and printmaking.

5-6th July 2025

Public view Friday 4th July 6-9pm

open on Saturday/Sunday 12-4pm


Is Forever Still the Last, Nothing is an exhibition of drawings and prints by 30 artists. Kate Genever’s charcoal wall drawing serves as a curatorial prompt and backdrop for the work of the other artists, all of whom are united by a focus on the primacy of mark-making through drawing and print. Each artist brings a unique approach to their craft and subject matter, and when viewed together against Genever’s drawing, they reveal the remarkable, shifting nature of artistic mark-making. This exhibition embodies the principle of Metempsychosis, a concept that inspired Genever as she created her charcoal drawing. Here, the essence of artistic expression transmigrates through various forms and mediums, reflecting the continuous evolution and rebirth of creative ideas. Just as souls move from one body to another, the artists' marks transcend individual styles, creating a collective narrative that is ever-changing and eternal.

 

Artists: Catherine Bertola, Andrew Bick, Pavel Büchler, Jake And Dinos Chapman, Jayne Cooper, Matthew Collings, Emily Collyer, Emily Connor, Kate Genever, Lesley Halliwell, Richard Hamilton, Medina Hammad, Holy Hendry, Jantze Holmes, Sigrid Holmwood, Dean Kenning, Jutta Koether, David  Mabb, Paul Mccarthy, Juliet Moore, Daksha Patel, Melody Phelan-Clark, Robert Rauschenberg, Benjamin Rostance, Assunta Ruocco, Jamie Shovlin, Bob and Roberta Smith, Harald Smykla, Tomoko Takahashi, Sarah Tutt, Dale Wells

BY QUEEN OF LUKURIA


General Practice, Lincoln

9-25 May 2025 

Thursday - Saturday, 12pm-4pm

 

About four corners

Weaving the site of the city with the site of GP will be a constant conversation as part of the residency at GP. Thinking about the conceptual relation of four corners to the body, our health systems and spatial dynamics will be the exploration of this month-long residency at General Practice by queen of lukuria. The exhibition will include interactive experiences with the public engaging drawing connections between the four corners of the body and four corners of the city. Utilising sculptural elements, interaction and projected poetry performance experiences gifted in response to engagement the exhibition/ residency will invite members of the public into an intimate experience. 


queen of lukuria will be present at the gallery on Fri/Sat/Sun of each week between May 9 to May 25 from 10am – 4pm to engage the public in one-to-one intimate experiences that ‘will have the potential’ to levitate them on their own personal life journey. 


About the artist

queen of lukuria aka Carron Little is interested in the act of creativity as an explorative journey that empowers each person to follow their own truth. From 2012 – 2013 Carron created a Dream Temple inspired by Ancient Greek Dream Temples that were known for their interpretative healing practices. At General Practice, thinking about the visit to the ‘GP’ as a transformative exchange, a healing act, queen of lukuria will facilitate intimate exchanges with the public utilizing her performance sculptures and poetry to initiate embodied practices. 

Carron Little aka queen of lukuria creates public engagement projects for cities and live poetry performances. Carron finds unique ways to activate personal stories and history that become reflected in their poetry to facilitate wider universal connections between people. The outcome of these projects create deeper community relations that foster a celebration of difference and a deeper understanding of the complexity of what it means to be human. Carron has exhibited her work extensively in the U.S. Europe, Switzerland and rarely in the U.K. where they are from. Growing up on the west coast of the Western Isles of Scotland where the Book of Kells was written – this sense of mystic knowingness and our connection to site has become of deeper significance to their work and creative practice in recent times.

Colour Play is an exhibition of new paintings by Stu Burke alongside a new, interactive work in which the audience is invited to create a sculptural structure, from shapes informed by Burke’s paintings, which is designed to fall once let go, it will be captured by photograph to create a ‘momentary sculpture’, the moment of collapse, creating new and exciting forms. The audience can then send the images through, to be included in a publication of these works.


 


Stu Burke is an artist, curator and co-director of GLOAM Gallery (Sheffield, UK) whose curatorial and artistic interests lie within expanded painting, non-objective art, mark-making, exploring the porous boundaries of painting, sculpture and performance by playfully creating works that inhabit the in between, or exist simultaneously within multiple disciplines.


 


Burke graduated with a first-class BA(Hons) in Fine Art from the University of Lincoln in 2013, and an MA in Fine Art from Teesside University in 2016, he is currently studying for a practice-led PhD in Art at Leeds Beckett University, investigating ‘play’ as an artistic and curatorial methodology.
