Sussex Modernism
A monumental head carved in stone by Jacob Epstein (1910) shares a space with a seven-metre-long painting by Ivon Hitchens (1960) and a large wall hanging made with cellophane by Ethel Mairet’s Workshop (1940s). A magical woodland scene by surrealist Carlyle Brown (1948) appears alongside an Edward Burne-Jones tapestry (1886), a film by Neo-Naturist Jennifer Binnie (c. 1980), and a life-sized goddess by Alexi Marshall (2024).

Spanning from the late nineteenth century to the present, this exhibition features surprising juxtapositions and jostling perspectives. It traces artworks' varied, and sometimes conflicting, relationships to different modernist movements. It tells an original story about the ways in which art, cultures, and places outside of metropolitan centres have been seen.
