Contrariwise is the first exhibition of the refreshed studio1.1 in partnership with Sluice. To mark this coming together, we're celebrating the communities that support our respective initiatives, presenting an exhibition drawn from Members (studio1.1) and Friends (Sluice).

Running artist-led projects has always required a willingness to believe in unlikely things: that spaces will survive, that conversations will continue, that artists with very different approaches but bound by a shared ethos can flourish together. Collaboration itself can feel contrary — improbable, occasionally illogical — yet it persists.

This exhibition gathers works that sit beside one another without demanding agreement. Different voices, materials, and intentions coexist here in productive tension.
