Featured Events in Ealing in March 2025 (August Updated)

We are delighted to invite our members to an exclusive Curator’s tour of Language of the Physical: Katherine Gili Sculpture. This exhibition brings together a range of sculptures by Katherine Gili, spanning four decades, from 1980 to 2022. Gili’s practice is rooted in a deeply physical engagement with materials—particularly steel, heavy-duty paper, and paper clay—and her work has steadily gained recognition in recent years. Most notably, her sculpture Vertical IV (1975) was recently displayed for the first time at Tate Britain as part of their ongoing collection display, Modern and Contemporary British Art (1965–1980), highlighting Gili’s significant contribution to British sculpture.

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery presents a new exhibition of sculpture by artist and designer Nicole Farhi. Farhi will display 25 cast ciment fondu busts, each hand painted with acrylic paint and depicting victims of miscarriages of justice across multiple countries around the world over the past 125 years. Running from 19 March to 15 June 2025, the exhibition portrays victims whose wrongful convictions have shaped legal history. The exhibition takes its name from J’Accuse…! — Émile Zola’s famous open letter that exposed the wrongful conviction of Captain Alfred Dreyfus in France in 1898. Inspired by Dreyfus’s case, Farhi has spent the past two years researching and sculpting figures from around the world who have been unjustly accused, from Timothy Evans, whose wrongful execution helped abolish capital punishment in Britain, to Andrew Malkinson, who spent 17 years in prison before his conviction was overturned in 2023, leading to the resignation of Helen Pitcher, Chair of the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery hosts a major new exhibition by painter Alison Watt, marking her first major public gallery exhibition in London since 2008. From Light includes 18 new paintings created specifically for Pitzhanger. The title reflects the centrality of light in both Watt’s work and that of Sir John Soane, the architect of Pitzhanger, in harnessing light to shape space and create atmosphere. For Watt, light is the ‘very substance of painting’, while for Soane, it defined the architecture of Pitzhanger.

From theatre performances he’s created as artistic director of the renowned Sheffield-based ensemble Forced Entertainment to public space neon installations, published fiction, musical collaborations and solo performances, Etchells’ work with words explores both the speed, clarity and vividness with which language can communicate narrative, image and ideas, and its amazing propensity to create rich fields of uncertainty and ambiguity. An introduction to some of the strategies and concerns that have motivated Etchells’ work across four decades Words/Worlds thinks about collaboration, presence, improvisation and the shared unfolding of time that’s at the heart of all performance Tim Etchells is an artist and a writer based in the UK whose work shifts between visual art, fiction and creating original performance.
