Exhibitions

Past Exhibitions

Wunderblock

Emma Smith's exhibition draws on original historical research into the post-war fascination with the infant mind.

Freud, Dalí and the Metamorphosis of Narcissus

An exhibition exploring the connection between Sigmund Freud and Salvador Dalí, starting from their one meeting, to which Dalí brought his recently completed painting The Metamorphosis of Narcissus.

Breathe

Two thought-provoking contemporary artists, Fay Ballard and Judy Goldhill, explore the central theme of parental loss throughout their practice.

Solitary Pleasures

Solitary Pleasures interrogated and investigated masturbation, and the eroticism, desire, and gratification associated with it.

Gideon Rubin – Black Book

Rubin’s specially created project for Freud’s final residence related to the era of the late 1930s, when Freud left Vienna for London. Working on the project was Rubin's way to engage with the past on a personal level.

Toby Ziegler – The Genesis Speech

Ziegler’s work has been characterized by an investigation into the ways that images and objects accumulate and shed narratives, and Freud’s collection of antiquities could be seen to epitomise this.

Play and Psychoanalysis

Exploring play and its many meanings in psychoanalysis, this exhibition looked at play in the work of Sigmund and Anna Freud, Melanie Klein and Donald W. Winnicott.
