Switch is an exhibition in which five artists and five writers collaborate by stepping into unfamiliar modes of practice. Artists write; writers make art. This displacement is intended to test what happens when practice is loosened from its usual forms. From this starting point, each pair develops their work through ongoing response: writing, making, or shifting approach as their dialogue unfolds.

In form, Switch draws on the text-to-image logic of AI, replacing automated precision with slow, human interpretation. Together, the new works form an interconnected body in which language and image continually unsettle and reframe one another.

Artists: Debra Phillips & Anthony Gardner; Patrick Pound & Daniel Palmer; Julie Rrap & Anne Marsh; Cherine Fahd & George Alexander; Karla Dickens & Daniel Browning.
