Our recent recommendations for Centrespace Gallery

Free entry! A thought-provoking yet playful exhibition from Kate Rymagali, whose large-scale, future-curious piece All About You blurs the line between observer and observed by reacting in real time to the brainwaves, gestures and even faces of its viewers. The artist asks key questions of the future through interactive and digital art, and photography. (Free to attend).

A workshop for young insurgents to come together and reimagine Sonic Youth’s Youth Against Fascism, led by local noise-rock agitators Spectres. No technical prowess needed; come express yourself through noise and outrage, even if you don’t know how to play or sing. Come make music, sing in a collaborative afternoon workshop. Smash, scrawl and scream.

Sell out warning! Local noise freaks Spectres perform their soon-to-be iconic debut record Dying in full for its tenth anniversary – wrap yourself in its gorgeously thick, hazy, delirious, ink-black expanse of punky shoegaze once again. A slice of 2010s Bristol history FFO: early Iceage, My Bloody Valentine, Gilla Band, Deerhunter. Spectres perform their debut LP in full 10 years since its release

Free entry! Under the weight of continued Palestinian death and displacement, fifteen artists gather at Centrespace to explore the theme of kinship. With spectral folk and alt-hymns from Frances Pylons, Humm, Oscar Jones, plus art raffle raising funds for Dignity for Palestinians, a grassroots Gazan group offering on-the-ground aid amidst the genocide. Group exhibition raising money for Dignity for Palestine

We ain’t nothing but mammals….RTiiiKA draws on lesbian lizards and gender-fluid clownfish as archetypes for their bold and angular paintings at this Centrespace solo show. Come trace the lines of sexual nonconformity with suitably slinky selects from Soft Butch’s LEXX. 'Monkey Business' is the first solo exhibition by Bristol-based artist RTiiiKA.
