@uniofbrightonEverything is Never Enough presents work from the research practices of @asajohannes @rachelkgillies @hbirtles @fergusheron
Specifically derived for Photo Fringe 2026, this exhibition exposes the processes behind research-based art practices that have photography at their core. The materials on display are presented not simply as evidence of process but as works of enquiry in their own right.
The exhibition takes its title from the Goldfrapp song 'Everything is Never Enough.' For the artists, the phrase describes a condition of making, and proposes a dialogue with photography as an illusion of plenitude while fragmentary and incomplete; an enquiry - a process of making anew in order to ask what else is there; a context - where iteration and feedback form a continual state of becoming; and a surrender - an imperative to keep enquiring without the promise of a linear path towards resolution. To make is to look again, to try again.
The exhibition is open 21-25
