Then & Now

We are excited to announce our inaugural exhibition on Pall Mall after 90 years on Cork Street.

Then & Now is a group exhibition including all Redfern artists – new and old. It reflects on the Redfern’s enduring commitment to supporting artists at different stages of their careers, from early exhibitions to long-term collaborations and to fostering artistic development over time. An ethos that we continue to uphold today.

The exhibition brings together works by modern and contemporary artists, tracing the development of their practices over time. Early works are brought into dialogue with more recent ones, revealing a diversity of approaches in material, form, and subject, while remaining united by a strong and distinctive sense of individual artistic identity.

At the heart of Then & Now are the relationships that have defined The Redfern. Artists who have formed a long and influential association with the gallery.

As The Redfern opens its doors on Pall Mall, the exhibition situates the gallery between past and present, between Cork Street and St James’s, and between the histories it carries and those that continue to unfold. 

We invite you to join us to celebrate Then & Now, a reflection on where we have been, and where we are going. A selection of featured artworks can be seen in our preview below.
