About Opening times during Gallery Weekend: 1 – 3 May 12–7pm Regular opening times: Thursday – Saturday, 12–6pm, and by appointment Of joy, sex, destruction and the mystery of time, this exhibition presents Malga Kubiak’s legendary video series The Egotrip Collection (1984–1994), a new performative intervention by Keira Fox (including audio in collaboration with Sean Colum), and installations and paintings by Ksenia Pedan. In The Egotrip Collection , Kubiak confronts the viewer with existential questions through a rapid montage of images, black humour, and explicit imagery. Together, the works form a matrix in which the boundaries between life and art collapse in a flickering, live edit. Curated by Emily Fahlén (Mint) Keira Fox is an Artist based in London, working with performance, improvisation, sound and props. She co-founded the performance duo New Noveta in 2012. She is also one part of the collective TLC23 founded in 2021. Fox’s work explores socio-political struggle, heightened through repetitive actions. She often uses domestic objects and characterizations of banal, everyday work and dress to amplify resistance via bodily penance. Collaboration is key to her practise, working with musicians and artists on productions. Recent exhibitions include: HIAR, Solo performance for Bolding Gallery (London 2026) ‘PFED for Where are the Hackers?’ at Berlin Atonal (Berlin, 2025), ‘Wast hast du mir angetan’ at Gropius Bau (Berlin, 2025), ‘Technoavoidancemanias,’ performance at Faun Festival with Rian Treanor, (Brno, 2024), ‘Peine forte et dure Performance’ for Teatro Bastardo Theatre Festival (Palermo, 2023) and ‘Steel My Heart’ performance for Sound of the City Festival at Tanztheater-Wuppertal (Wuppertal, 2022).

Since then Kubiak has worked in Stockholm as an artist, writer and singer. In the collection of video works ‘The Egotrip Collection'(1984-94) she confronts the viewer with existential issues using a hectic flow of images, black humour and provocative pornography.
