SUMMARY:SENSE ABILITY
DESCRIPTION:A place to pause\, immerse in\, learn from\, and create together new forms of interbeing.FULL DAILY SCHEDULE HERE: https://senseability.space/@sense__ability  Public launch of the project: February 26th\, 18:30 Project's closing date: March 28thWatch this space for more info on events\, experiences\, projects\, activities and workshops- In the meantime see below for a generally daily schedule  Launching on 26 February 2026 at central London’s Crypt Gallery\, Sense Ability unfolds as a five-week project conceived as a cultural venue\, deep-listening and resting space\, and apothecary. Each of its functional elements is designed to hold space for intentional pausing\, recreation\, and embodied learning. During the day\, the space is freely accessible as a sanctuary for re-rooting into presence. An embedded sound system\, enveloping scentscapes of locally gathered herbs\, and foraged herbal brews shape a multisensory environment that invites quiet attunement. In the evenings and on weekends\, the space shifts into an active programme of live sound\, curated deep-listening sessions\, workshops\, talks\, and film screeningsThe project works alongside local and international practitioners\, including artists\, educators\, storytellers\, and celebrated change-makers. The workshops and conversations engage with both local and global land knowledge\, diving deep into foundational subjects such as culture\, ecology\, and well-being. Sense Ability seeks to deepen connection with local energies and to illuminate the richness of the ambient environment. It asks what it means to live in awareness of our inner landscapes while remaining in rhythm with the world around us\, to return to the senses and to foundational ways of perceiving.The project creates an experiential ground for exploration\, learning through encounter\, participation\, and embodied practice. Conversations emerge through international bridge-building with practitioners whose lives are shaped by these inquiries in practice. The space also exhibits works of craft and sculpture made from local materials\, carrying the land’s textures\, histories\, and age-old narratives into the gallery. A small apothecary forms a quiet but integral part of the project\, offering herbal brews made from locally foraged plants\, tinctures\, hydrosols\, and a lot more. This practice invites deeper awareness of local ecosystems and our reciprocal relationship with nature and its many medicines\, grounding the experience through taste\, aroma\, and plant knowledge. A curated selection of teas from Dartmoor Tea Estate and natural soft drinks crafted by independent local producers complement this offering.Daily Schedule08:00 - 16:30 | Open Space● Communal retreat space\, gallery\, and café● Open for rest\, reflection\, informal gathering\, and quiet presence16:30 - 17:30 | Meditative Drop-In Sessions● Guided meditations\, sound baths\, and deep-listening practices● Many sessions donation-based and open to all● Advance booking encouraged● Space partially closed to support quietude and focus17:30 - 18:30 | Transition & Preparation● Space closed in preparation for the evening programmeEvenings | Programme● Live music and sound performances● Curated listening sessions● Collective silence and pausing● Workshops\, talks\, and film screeningsWeekends | Extended Immersions● Longer-format sessions and outdoor-oriented activities● Hands-on engagement with local materials and crafts● Heritage explorations\, bodywork\, and embodied practices

SUMMARY:Down The Rabbit Hole
DESCRIPTION:Down The Rabbit Hole\nExhibition\n\nPrivate view: Thursday 16 April\, 6-8pm\nExhibition open: Friday 17 - Sunday 19 April\, 10am-6pm\nFinissage event: Sunday 19 April\, 6-9.30pm​\n\nA group exhibition featuring artwork by the late Katya Kan (1987 - 2023) in dialogue with creative contemporaries and emerging artists\, to be confirmed. The exhibition will take place in London's Crypt Gallery\, which is set in a labyrinth of underground tunnels. The metaphorical 'rabbit holes' unfold to reveal displays of multidisciplinary art including painting\, sculpture\, works on paper and video\, extending to performance and music at the closing event.\n"I almost wish I hadn't gone down the rabbit-hole – and yet – it's curious\, you know\, this sort of life!"\nLewis Carroll\, The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland\n\n​\n\n‘Down the Rabbit Hole’ is a curatorial exploration of solitude\, dislocation\, and psychic transformation during the Covid-19 era. At its centre is Katya Kan’s pivotal watercolour 'Spacetime'\, an image of Iceland’s Diamond Cave pierced by her recurring bunny alter ego. Both whimsical and unsettling\, the rabbit figure gazes from a crystalline tunnel stretching toward infinity—an allegory of confinement where the light at its end signals not release\, but the stillness of suspended time.\n\nAlongside 'Spacetime' is Kan’s 'Catastrophes' series\, a body of work that stages lockdown as both spectacle and slippage. At its centre emerges the bizarre theatre of a real-life\, public school educated cannabis dealer\, transfigured into a figure with a leopard’s head. Immersed in the languor of confinement\, he reclines for hours in a bathtub\, absorbing the spiralling conspiracy diagrams of American ufologist Abbie Richards. These tangled visual maps evoke not only the paranoia and absurdity of pandemic speculation but also the algorithmic entanglements of the internet itself—those endless “rabbit holes” where social media loops\, hashtags\, and recommendation engines draw the isolated subject ever deeper into echo chambers of speculation. Around him\, watercolour crystallises into decadent chambers—a kaleidoscope of glam-rock indulgence\, sloth\, and surreal detachment—mirroring the intoxicating allure of digital overstimulation that masked fatigue with infinite scroll. Within these scenes\, Kan’s rabbit-avatar moves fluidly between observer and accomplice\, a wry embodiment of the user drifting between voyeurism\, complicity\, and surrender to algorithmic drift. In this hall of mirrors\, pandemic lethargy becomes both spectacle and contagion\, refracted through the cultural architectures of the internet age. Completed during the Artak Residency in Iceland in 2020\, Catastrophes distils lockdown’s paradoxical moods: decadent stillness\, comic estrangement\, and a psychic theatre where decay\, survival\, and digital delirium overlap.\n\nTo expand this dialogue\, 'Down the Rabbit Hole' includes affiliated artists whose practices similarly reflect on solitude\, memory\, and psychodrama during the pandemic. These voices— working across painting\, digital media\, and installation—create a chorus around Kan’s work\, underscoring how Covid-19 reshaped not only private lives but also the emotional vocabulary of a generation. Together\, their artworks become fragments of a shared archive of confinement and resilience.\n\n​\n\nMore updates coming soon.\n\n​\n\nFor more information\, please contact: downtherabbitholeexhibition@gmail.com
