Artist spotlight - Gillian Brent Gillian is exhibiting 'Offsetting the Arbitrary' @hyphastudios as part of @assembly_rss_exhibition in London. The artist synthesises her observations of the physical world by assembling elements into abstract configurations of line, mass, space, colour and balance. These constructions generate unexpected relationships, actions, and reactions that allude to function and suggest narratives. This sculpture is part of an ongoing series that sustains a deliberate sense of awkwardness and ambiguity of logic. It includes an integral plinth, yet resists resting directly upon it— hovering above, hanging off, and cantilevering outward. The plinth is both a physical and visual counterbalance, rather than a simple base. http://www.gillianbrent.co.uk/ @gillianbrent ‘Assembly’, is a contemporary art showcase from @royal_sculptors exhibiting @hyphastudios curated by @studioalexandracarr and @breeze1778 Assembly Hypha Gallery South Bank Gallery 3 42 Southwark Bridge Road London SE1 9EU Private View: 12th October 2026, 6-9pm Exhibition Dates: 8th October – 15th November 2026 Opening Hours: Thursday–Sunday, 12–6pm Admission: Free With thanks to @breezecreatives @hyperbolicorange and @artofwine.art Second image taken by @carlozambon.

Everything You Need, 2026
Acrylic paint on unstretched canvas
110 × 140 cm Depicts a sari-sari store in Cebu, reflecting childhood memories of neighbourhood shops and the small everyday rituals that shaped my experience of growing up in the Philippines. Passing Through, 2026
Acrylic paint on unstretched canvas
110 × 140 cm Depicts a crowded jeepney in Cebu, exploring the familiarity of shared journeys and fleeting connections between strangers. Displayed together back to back, the paintings offer two glimpses of everyday life in Cebu: one through movement, the other through stillness. Both explore familiar public spaces where brief encounters and ordinary routines become lasting memories, connecting my present experience of the Philippines with my childhood.

SPOILED PROPAGANDA: grafting bio-futurism - Unruly Ecologies: Plants, Fungi, and Other Forms of Life that Resist Classification This Friday at 7pm Hypha HQ, Unit 3, Euston Tower, 286 Euston Road, NW1 3DP Are plants straight? Can fungi challenge how we understand sex, identity, individuality, and the relationships between living organisms? In this interdisciplinary conversation, Ella Serpell (University of Reading/Natural History Museum) and Ji Soto (UCL) @sotoji_ explore how the biological complexity of plants and fungi disrupts conventional systems of classification and human-centred understandings of nature. FREE ENTRY — booking via link in bio. Curated by PHYEIN Collective: @tanvi_76 @r.itamorais @nateg.myers Kindly supported by British Land in partnership with @hyphastudios.

Artist spotlight - Sarah Villeneau Sarah is exhibiting 'Daydreamer' @hyphastudios as part of @assembly_rss_exhibition in London. Daydreamer Sarah Villeneau’s practice is rooted in an investigation of human hubris in regard to our place in the world and the denial of our corporeal and animal nature. Bringing the inside out, she presents abstracted yet highly suggestive bodily forms that resonate across the natural world, whilst also creating a visceral response in the viewer. This piece is a made-to-measure ceramic representation of the average small intestine, with a repurposed ceramic tube and found sisal rope. The importance of the gut in terms of our well-being and decision-making is increasingly gaining credence and recognition as the ‘second brain.’ https://sarahvilleneau.weebly.com/#/ @sarah_villeneau_ceramics ‘Assembly’, is a contemporary art showcase from @royal_sculptors exhibiting @hyphastudios curated by @studioalexandracarr and @breeze1778 Assembly Hypha Gallery South Bank Gallery 3 42 Southwark Bridge Road London SE1 9EU Private View: 12th October 2026, 6-9pm Exhibition Dates: 8th October – 15th November 2026 Opening Hours: Thursday–Sunday, 12–6pm Admission: Free With thanks to @breezecreatives and @hyperbolicorange Images courtesy of the artist.

I am very happy to present my work “HELPERS” at @friezeofficial Frieze Week as part of the exhibition “SPOILED PROPAGANDA: grafting bio-futurism”, curated by @phyein.collective at @hyphastudios @hyphacurates 📍 Hypha Studios, Euston Tower, London 🗓️ 8 October - 7 November 2026 Thu-Sun, 12-6pm Helpers explores care as a form of release: the act of creating the conditions for another living being to emerge, rather than determining what it should become. The work begins with the pigment-producing bacterium Janthinobacterium lividum, followed by traditional Japanese shibori technique. Silk is folded, bound and shaped according to an intentional pattern, creating a framework for the biological process to develop. The resulting violet pigment grows through the fabric, a process that cannot be entirely predicted or controlled, allowing the material to become a memory of both human intervention and microbial activity. At the centre of the work is a fascination with creatures and the many ways of being together. Microorganisms inhabit worlds largely invisible to us, sensing, adapting and responding to their environments. The violet pigment produced by Janthinobacterium lividum, violacein, is not simply a source of colour but a bioactive compound with antimicrobial and antifungal properties: it is part of a biological strategy for defence and survival. Transferred onto silk, these properties become part of the material itself, introducing the possibility of a textile that carries not only colour, but a form of biological protection. Helpers considers liminality, becoming and release as conditions of working with living systems. There is a moment when making moves beyond control: when the maker has to step back, observe and allow something else to take part. The work reflects on a simple question: what does it mean to care for something without deciding what it should become?

@camillacccole founded @hyphastudios because she knew art needs to live in the city, filling in every empty building, not just museums or galleries. To make it happen she’s built a charity dedicated to matching artists and empty real estate spaces for pop-up exhibitions. I’ve been a long-term fan of what the team at Hypha does and thank you @willjennings80 for suggesting I feature Camilla in Season 2 of #LanderTalks! 👉👉👉 swipe the carousel, read Camilla’s story and get in touch with Hypha if you’re an artist, a patron (a charity always needs funds!) or have an empty unit on a high street that you’d like to reinvigorate between rents. This Frieze Week Hypha Studios are running several brilliant exhibitions. At their Southbank location I’ve seen hylē, curated by @anya_mokhova_, and Assembly by @royal_sculptors featuring beloved artist, creative partner and friend @rosburgin, so check those out and go see some cool art if you’re in town. #LanderTalks is a series where I talk to women building businesses in the cultural economy. New episodes drop on Thursdays.

Hatshepsut 03, 2025 Oil and acrylic on canvas 152.4 × 127 cm To the Wonder - brings together practices that amalgamate ancient and contemporary art. Developed as a research project, To the Wonder brings to light the everlasting impact of history on artists seeking to find authenticity in a progress-centred society that is increasingly automated, technocratic and artificial. Curated by @salomejt_ @hyphacurates @hyphastudios In the series of paintings titled Hatshepsut, architecture, sexuality and gender are questioned in relation to power and ritual in the ancient world. My earlier metal wall hangings became sculptures and were later used as stencils to create intricately ornate painted surfaces. The paintings, which combine various historical references, were produced over a long period of experimentation. In 2025 I undertook a research trip to Egypt to further understand the history of Hatshepsut, the New Kingdom female Pharaoh, who was represented as male in the later statues of her reign. Through a contemporary queer lens, historical fabulation and painterly abstraction Hatshepsut can be imagined as a gender non-conforming icon. Photos by @sarah.larby.photo and @showpickle
