We Are Where We Are, 2026 – Barnaby Barford

David Gill Gallery is pleased to announce We Are Where We Are, the latest exhibition by British artist Barnaby Barford. Spanning 35 ceramic sculptures and several large-scale drawings, the exhibition brings together a body of work exploring how we are coping a quarter of the way through the 21st century – a time marked by psychological overload, acceleration and a pervasive sense of inertia.

I’m interested in apathy and impotence in the face of chaos, and in the quiet nihilism of just carrying on, being swept along by forces larger than yourself.

Each day seems to outdo the last. What felt unthinkable yesterday barely registers today.
