Forward Thinking brings together six artists from Canada, Japan and the UK who are exploring environmental, social and ethical concerns through art. 



Currently there is an increasing desire to find socially and environmentally responsible ways of living and working. Forward Thinking explores some of the ways in which contemporary artists grapple with this impulse to build a more sustainable future - whether or not they think this is actually possible.

As part of the exhibition, environmental artist Tim Pugh has been commissioned to visit Southampton to transform discarded rubbish from around the city and upcycle the items in the gallery space.

Other artists include British artist Nick Gentry, photographer Joan Sullivan, Yuken Teruya from Japan, Ayumi Matsuzaka, Welsh artist Joanna Wright, and London based artist Melanie Carvalho

Admission is free. The gallery space is open Monday - Friday 11-6pm and Saturday 11-5pm.
