Hannah Quinlan & Rosie Hastings (b. 1991. Newcastle, London) are a London-based artist duo known for their exploration of queer identity, urban spaces, and social politics. Their practice is multi-disciplinary encompassing; fresco painting, drawing, video, performance, print-making, publishing and installation. Grounded in researching how various communities have been represented throughout history, they interpret social and political issues by drawing from art history and archives. Their work invites viewers to question their relationships with space, power dynamics, social hierarchy, class, order, and obedience within our public spaces.

The work of Prem Sahib embodies a poetic and provocative “destabilised minimalism”, referencing the architecture of public and private spaces, structures that shape individual and communal identities, senses of belonging, alienation and confinement. Mixing the personal and political, abstraction and figuration, Sahib’s formalism is suggestive of the body as well as its absence, drawing attention to traces of touch and frameworks of looking. In past works, Sahib’s aesthetic draws heavily on the environments and interiors of saunas, clubs and public cruising venues, exploring personal and communal histories via the architecture of public and private queer spaces.

Recent exhibitions include The Life Cycle of a Flea, a solo presentation at Phillida Reid, London (October 2023) and forms of the surrounding futures, the 12th Göteborg Biennial for Contemporary Art, curated by João Laia (September - November 2023). Sahib’s work has been shown widely institutionally including solo exhibitions Balconies, Kunstverein Hamburg (2017) and Side On, ICA London (2015) as well in group shows at Sharjah Art Foundation, Sharjah, UAE; Migros Museum, Zürich, Switzerland; Whitechapel Gallery; Hayward Gallery, London; KW Institute of Art, Berlin, Germany; Des Moines Art Centre, Iowa, USA; and the Gwangju Biennale, South Korea.
