Energy Console is the end of year show of alternative art school The Other MA’s current 2022/24 cohort.

Visitors are invited to experience work created during the past 18 months of the TOMA course. The exhibition is accompanied by a programme of free workshops and public events, details of which can be found on the TOMA instagram in the coming weeks.

Exhibiting TOMA artists are showing work that explores a broad range of themes such as: emerging technologies and performativity, performance and textiles, orchards, permaculture, access intimacy, disability, anti-gallery, consumption and value, science fiction, motherhood, the body and imaginative play, expanded portraiture and digital: analogue, photography, appropriation, memory and collaboration, and the resonance of past experiences in people, places, and things. Artist-led tours of the show are scheduled throughout the exhibition period.

The exhibition entitled Energy Console is inspired by a report on ‘The TOMA way’ written by artist @jackkytan titled ‘TOMA Dreamings’ and published in 2023. The report can be read in full via a link in our bio 👆🏼

Please join us for the Energy Console opening event from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday 27 of April at the Beecroft Gallery, and then for an opening party with performances, entertainment, and food and drink available to buy, from 6pm to midnight @twentyone_southend
