Super Flatland at White Conduit Projects, London from 16 September to 18 October 2020

“A dozen artists from Europe and Asia inhabit ‘Super Flatland’ at White Conduit Projects.

The exhibition includes work by Kate Groobey, winner of the 2018 Daiwa Foundation Art Prize, and runs from Wednesday 16 September to Sunday 18 October 2020.
