Last Forever, the Still is Nothing
General Practice - Lincoln - 19th -28th June 2025
Curated by Andrew Bracey
A group show with Epoh Beech, Kate Genever and Madara Vimba
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.
This is the 2nd of a series of 3 exhibitions at General Practice, Lincoln
5 June - 6 July 2025
‘Nothing […] Forever’ is a series of three interconnected exhibitions curated by Andrew Bracey at General Practice, Lincoln in June/July. They include a solo exhibition featuring a new wall drawing by Kate Genever, which is then included in a three-person show, also featuring Madara Vimba and Epoh Beech, and a thirty-person group show of East Midlands and international artists. To reflect the use of Genever’s wall drawing as a conceptual and physical connecting point for each exhibition, every title is a different configuration of the words in the title of Kate’s solo exhibition.
