Subject to Disruption was the resulting exhibition from Asire 2026 at Aspex Gallery in Portsmouth. We explored disruption not as a dramatic rupture, but as an ongoing condition of the present shaped through time, adjustment, and change.

I uswd this opportunity to try out recent ideas of shadow / shadow from gesture and precence…and as a pilot to offer 4 x play jamming sessions which I was able to do via the Family Saturday slots. I also planned to work with artists from other disciplines…not to share how to make or understand thie rown work but to facilitate a session of How they make their work…more the structures of thought and practicalities of Doing, rather than sharing how to make the work / end point itself.

Exhibiting Artists: Zoë Barker, Mia Bilbeisi, Lindsay Cracknell, Alexandra Motiu, Paloma Passetto de Souza, Daira Ronzoni, Catia Sofia Fontes Silvestre, Kathy Williams.

Co‑curated by: Kuch Bhogal, Chien‑Yu Chen, Hester Poole, Zahra Khanum.

Thanks to Luke Spencer, Teb and Alex, Alice, Gracie, Karl and Sam.
