Underworld exhibition Falmouth Art Gallery

Posted: June 2022        

We are excited to announce our exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery 23rd June - 23rd September 2022

Three artworks hanging on the wall in a gallery in light wooden frames. The nearest artwork is an abstract screen print in purple, orange and dark blue.

Underworld is a project by Shallal Studios exploring bats and seaweed. Over nine months 50 artists and 70 school children have been researching and developing work through a series of workshops that explored Cornwall’s natural world - low beneath the surface of the sea and high into the night sky. The response from our artists has been phenomenal, including night bat walks, underwater filming and creating bat techno.

The multi-sensory project was led by the artists’ research, coming together through two exhibitions at Kresen Kernow & Falmouth Art Gallery, an e-book and a printed zine. Watch this space for more info about the project over the coming weeks!

This project is funded by Arts Council England, Awards for All, The RTR Foundation and FEAST.
