reGROUP is the closing exhibition for the Linen Biennale 2023 and showcases new work from 4 artists – Anushiya Sundaralingam, Jane McCann, Regine Neumann and Robert Peters.
It will, fittingly, take place upstairs in Portview Centre, formerly the Strand Spinning Mill.
Gather, glean, garner, collect, reap, regroup…
It’s been approximately a hundred days since the planning and delivery for the Linen Biennale 2023 ‘Revive & Renew’ began in earnest – the average time it takes a flax crop to grow and mature before harvest. Now at the end of October, this closing show marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another.
Collectively the team behind the biennale is asking: How do we take all the connections, learnings, ideas and inspiration grown over the last three months and continue to share it? How do we prepare the ground for another Linen Biennale in 2025, and continue to promote the amazing properties of both linen and flax in all their iterations.
