PV Thursday 16 July 2026 18:00

July – September, 2026

An exhibition of works by Tommaso Nelli, Orlando Seale and Viviana Rossi-Caffell, encompassing painting, sculpture and performance. Seeking neither to impose theory nor form upon reality, they instead enquire, centred on uncertainty, unfolding as listening practices in which the act of making coincides with a gradual process of revelation.

L’Influance de la lune
sur la teste des femmes

Temple of Vaccinia
Dr Jenner’s House and Museum
The Chantry, Church Lane, Berkeley, GL13 9BN

13 April – 12 September 2026

Inspired by an anonymous French print from 1652, “L’influance” is a humorous self-reflexion on femininity, drawing connections between mood, marine tides, fertility, deregulation, lunatic nature, intuition and the unforeseen.

With all the possible associations with mood swings, PMS, baby blues all the way to hot flashes, this piece is good enough to be displayed in the foyer of a gynaecologist.

Daybreak

Camilla Grimaldi Gallery
Via dei Tre Orologi 6A, 00197 Rome

14th December 2023 – 8 March 2024

The show will include two recent bodies of works: the Teatrini and the series The way in, both revolving around the meeting point, the place where one thing ends and another begins, how different entities or beings occupy the space alongside each other, how they lean on each other in order to gain stability.

Most of the pieces in this exhibition came like those dreams that one gets at daybreak, those visions that stay so vivid for a while, and make you wonder if you should try and catch them.

Midnight Spelunking

The Nutshell Studios, Old Market, Nailsworth, GL6 0DU

23rd September – 2nd October 2022

A joint exhibition of recent sculptures and paintings, for two weekends at the Nutshell Studios. Informed by theatrical space as a setting for imaginative work to happen, such as narratives, magic and epiphanies, Viviana’s delicate and humorous sculptural assemblages sit alongside Nick’s mysterious colourful paintings.

La Brûleuse de Terre

August 2022

Sometimes miracles do happen.
La Brûleuse de Terre, a piece I imagined in 2016 is now floating on velvety water in Nympsfield, in what will soon open as an elephant sanctuary, we are just waiting for those elephants (yes, we are talking about the UK) to find their way here.
The making process has been both tortuous and serendipitous in such a way that it feels more appropriate to call it a journey…

A Dance for Edward James

December 2021

Published by West Dean College, November 2021, here

“On a dewy October morning, my mother-in-law’s Nissan Micra was ready under the plumping grapes of the pergola, packed with metal sheets, rods, tools, theatre stage backdrops and the broadest selection of paraphernalia, including some bones that I borrowed from my dog’s private collection and a set of fake teeth found in a disused dentist studio in Southern Italy.
Clearly, I had been chosen as Maker-in-Residence at West Dean College, and I was going to make a big deal of it…”
