The first major exhibition taking place at ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House in 2025 is UK-based artists Lindsay Seers and Keith Sargent’s ambitious immersive installation Nowhere Less Now. The exhibition space has been completely transformed into the upturned hull of a ship and invites you to enter a haunting exploration of time and memory. This incredible artwork considers how history is both created and perceived. ArtHouse Jersey is presenting the eighth chapter of this episodic work after previous episodes have featured at London’s Hayward Gallery at the Southbank Centre, Whitechapel Gallery as well as appearing at major galleries and museums in Sharjah, Tasmania, Swansea and Margate, to date. The work was premiered at the Kilburn Tin Tabernacle in 2012 as a special site-specific installation by Artangel, one of the UK’s most pioneering contemporary art organisations.
This extraordinary artwork draws connections between a 19th century Tin Tabernacle chapel in London, the birth of Seer’s great great uncle, George Edwards, the birth of Mina Bergson, artist and sister of French philosopher Henri Bergson, and Seer’s own birth exactly 100 years later to the day. For this Jersey iteration, Seers and Sargent have also created a series of new films specific to Jersey and which focus on the historical moments of the German Occupation, the Jersey Witch Trials and the redeeming love of surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore. Combining photography, performance, video and animation, Nowhere Less Now is symptomatic of Seers and Sargent’s relentless search for truths that remain elusive as they slip through the lens.
Nowhere Less Now is part of The Artangel Collection, an initiative to bring outstanding film and video works, commissioned and produced by Artangel, to galleries and museums across the UK.
