Of All Time is a limited edition multiple produced on the occasion of the group exhibition RELAY [02] at Platform A, Middlesbrough.

The assemblage brings together a range of found and fabricated elements, including steel mesh, rubber-coated magnets, steel box-section tubing and printed material, extending Simona Brinkmann’s long-standing exploration of the relationship between bodies, objects and space.

At the centre of the work is a low-resolution image sourced by the artist online, depicting a goat improbably suspended from a telephone wire. The absurdity of the scene prompts questions about authenticity in an era increasingly shaped by AI-generated imagery. Brinkmann deliberately retains the image’s degraded, pixelated quality, and leans into it by scaling up its dimensions - working against the conventions of high-definition fine art printing and reinforcing her interest in materials and images that occupy an ambiguous or low-status position.

Suspended and immobilised between these elements, the goat becomes both subject and metaphor. It is caught within a system of forces that simultaneously support, constrain and display it. The overlaid mesh alters the image, unexpectedly sharpening its contours while further implicating the perforated steel structure in the act of seeing.

RELAY [02} - Platform A, Middlesborough

19th March - 14th May

RELAY [02] is the second stage of a group exhibition in two parts, co-curated by hardcopy* and Thomas Griffiths. Staged across two cities that share a common industrial heritage - Sheffield and Middlesbrough - the exhibition brings together a diverse range of concerns, considering how objects and surfaces carry layered histories and reveal the residues of industrial processes, environmental change, and human activity.

hardcopy* is a publishing and curatorial platform established by Nick Kennedy in 2024, that commissions, produces and distributes editions made in collaboration with artists.

Each artist included in RELAY is a past, present, or future hardcopy* collaborator.

RELAY [01] was presented at Gloam Gallery, Sheffield, in November 2025 and included work by Tony Charles, Rachel Deakin, Nick Kennedy, and Will Hughes. Limited edition prints and multiples are available through both Platform A and hardcopyshop.com, with new artist editions to be released throughout the exhibition.

Gentle Revolts - Bloc Projects, Sheffield.

4 December 2025-31 January 2026

A cross-section of work by practitioners who were selected to take part in our annual Bloc Projects' Members Show 2024-5. The works by Simona Brinkmann, Lucie Kordacova & Miroslava Vecerova, Ash Martin and Lucy Wright were selected by artist-curator Umulkhayr Mohamed, who has brought them under the title of Gentle Revolts:

'It has been a pleasure to curate Bloc Projects' latest Members Show. Gentle Revolts brings together four artists whose practices share a sensitivity for transformation, play, and the undoing of established orders. I was drawn to each artist I selected, as they all engage in an act of re-articulation, using material, narrative and form to explore how traditions might be unmade and remade, in ways hat gently reclaim the power to shape culture from established authorities. Their works are bound by a lightness of touch that belies their conceptual depth, inviting us all to enter spaces of curiosity and re-examination. Across the exhibition, there is a shared sense of openness and ease, a lowering of defences that welcomes participation in this collective reimagining of how we see, remember and belong.

Lucy's work anchors the show through its fusion of folk histories with contemporary questions of care, kinship, and resistance, transforming traditional motifs into agents for inclusivity and social renewal. Simona's precise reconfiguration of found and fabricated objects extends this conversation into spatial politics, examining how the infrastructures of daily life can be metabolised and re-conceived. Lucie and Miroslava's layered, ecofeminist practice draws from myth and ritual to address the interdependence between humans and the more-than-human world, while Ash's vivid and humorous mythologies rework spiritual and personal symbols into playful, introspective forms. Together, their works speak to the possibility of joy within critique and tenderness within transformation.
