VSSL Studio launches FACET: A Series of Exhibitions Showcasing Contemporary Queer Art & Culture
FACET is an innovative programme of visual art dedicated to the exploration and celebration of contemporary queer art & culture. Through a series of five exhibitions, FACET establishes a platform for invited artists to centre their unique perspectives while fostering greater understanding of various queer experience, through a diverse range of artistic mediums. Featuring exhibitions from: Alicia Radage + Benjamin Sebastian, June Lam, Rocio Boliver and Marcin Gawin - as well as a dynamic group exhibition.
Queer art has historically defied traditional boundaries and categories, often using interdisciplinary approaches that challenge established norms and conventions. It is an art form that speaks to and from queer experiences and their’ communities - by exploring themes of identity, gender, sexuality and the intersections between them.
Initiating the FACET programme is a joint exhibition by Alicia Radage and Benjamin Sebastian, two London based artists whose collaboration sets the tone for the entire programme.
The exhibition will take place at VSSL studio, Enclave, 50 Resolution Way, Deptford, London, SE8 4AL.
Opening hours: 1 - 15 June, Thursday - Sundays 12:00 - 17:00
Launch Event: Friday 2 June 18:00 - 21:00 RSVP

Event at Lake on the 4 February: ACT III -The Prototype - Artist’s Talk and Live Sound Performance
lake invites you to an artist’s talk, followed by a live intervention that will transform the current installation of The Prototype into a meta-instrument using field recordings, contact mics, tape loops and a spatial sound environment. In this closing event to the exhibition, publishers Folium will interact with the installation and perform an improvised sound piece in response to the work.
The current installation is a new adaptation of Eugenie Shinkle and Callum Beaney’s collaborative work The Prototype – a project that explores photographic abstraction alongside the affinities between sound and vision. Originally exhibited in 2021, The Prototype was subsequently made into a book designed and published by London-based imprint Folium, and released in September 2022. Both the original work and the book are inspired by the chaotic and abrasive sounds of noise music. lake’s response – which uses sculpture, computer vision, and noise-based algorithms – reconstructs the book's artefacts into an immersive installation.
Artist’s talk 18:00-19:00
Live performance 19:15 onwards

Lake launches at Enclave
A new project has moved into Enclave 5. Lake is a centre for the creation of collaborative multi-sensory works for a public wishing to explore the connections between varied creative practices. Lake produces experiences of sound, image, and space in the form of installations, readings, talks, performances, and workshops to share the dialogue and knowledge created through the interconnecting of disciplines. Much like the space a lake occupies ecologically, supporting life around and beneath its transparent surface. Lake is a place to incubate and to clearly observe ideas grow which explore the collaborative process between varied creative practices.
Founded by Nishant Shukla & James Wilkie
Join them for the private view of their opening exhibition कोई है/Koi hain/Is anybody there? on the 5 November 6-9pm.
