​

Through a range of visual and sensory forms, the immersive exhibition explores love not as a sentimental ideal, but as a site of projection, rupture, and resistance.

Contributing artists:

​

Stephanie Stump, a stained glass artist, is transforming a room of The Wrong Gallery into a chapel-like space—a luminous, intimate installation exploring the subjectivity of faith and the personal myths we build around belief.

​

Rachel Henaghan, a transdisciplinary artist, transforms the chapel-like space into a resonant chamber of human unrest. Using found recordings of voices steeped in frustration and anger, the work is an unsettling liturgy that exposes faith’s shadow side and amplifies the human struggle for meaning.

Sarah Leigh, a visionary textile artist, transforms the cellar into a site of reclamation. From the earth beneath,  columns of light—shrouded in sculpted felt—erupt like the breath of an alien forest breaking through the tiles. The work is both a fierce love letter to the natural world and a warning: that even in the deepest man-made structures, nature will surge back, luminous and unstoppable.

Old Bort, multidisciplinary artist, conjures an interactive sound installation that haunts the Wrong Gallery from its depths. Emerging from the cellar and seeping through the floorboards, the soundscape becomes an aural presence giving a spectral dimension of the exhibition.

Fred Fabre, a visual storyteller, unfurls giant drawings, paintings, and films as constellations in a larger narrative— flows through The Wrong Gallery like a binding thread, stitching together the various works and rooms. Together, they create a multi-sensory uprising of symbols, sensations, and subversions.
