Simon Moretti et al.

Hereafter

★★★★★

On until 30 May 2025

There is an unstated hierarchy of forms at work in this enigmatic not-quite-solo, not-quite-collective exhibition. “Hereafter” was conceived by Simon Moretti and features works by well over a dozen “guest” others. The artist’s wall-mounted neon, Double Vortex (after Emanuel Swedenborg), 2025, is the show’s cipher. This work’s very shape—like a ram’s horns atop an Ionic column—points to the heavens.

Tilson’s styled self-portraits are an affectation that will take many years of practice to pay off.
