BIO ASSEMBLY is a suite of four exhibitions as part of the NEW ANNUAL Festival, featuring seven artists that challenge our perceptions of landscape, space, ethics and entropy. Intimate and immersive, the artists present alternate views and recreate spaces that mediate anticipated responses to four distinct environments, from the tattoo parlour to epic wilderness.

An immersive exhibition that brings together found sounds and everyday materials to reflect on our relationship to the environment. A group show featuring 7 artists that challenge our perceptions of landscape, space, ethics and entropy.  

The artists recreate spaces that respond to four distinct environments, from the tattoo parlour to epic wilderness. 

Martin Koszolko and Max Schleser | Time Traces explores the intersection of mobility, ecology, and mobile media art. Produced entirely using smartphones and mobile sound technologies, the project captures the natural world in flux. 

Sandy Sanderson | Ampulla of Lorenzini is a sensory fable — a dreamlike initiation into the imagined experience of electroreception, the biological ability to perceive electrical currents. Through symbolic ritual, surreal visuals, and a visceral musical composition by Tim Merrikin.   

Louisa Magrics | Nestled This large-scale crocheted tetrahedron forms a netted, immersive sculptural structure that invites viewers to navigate its voids and textures. Drawing on mathematical form and embodied process, the work explores tension, transformation, and connection through textile geometry.  

Marie Hadley and Adam McDade | Grey Lines is part methodological manifesto, part love letter to a medium. Grey Lines places the embodied experience of tattoo at its core, offering new ways to think about authorship, collaboration, and the disconnection between law and the practices it seeks to govern.
