SHADOWS REQUIRE PARTNERS.

Shadow Nexus is opening its doors. We're looking for the theorists, the light-workers, and the architectural rebels. Will you join the nexus?

ENTER THE DIALOGUE

Define the Boundary

Proposals must transcend a single discipline. We don't just want a painter; we want a painter who understands the physics of photons. Total synthesis is the goal.

Accessing the Vault

Fellowships provide up to £12,000 for quarterly exploration. Our grants cover material costs for shadow-casting installations and perceptual research equipment.

Deliver the Nexus

Required deliverables include one peer-reviewed paper and one public installation within the 12 Guy Banks Road facility. We're building a archive of the unseen.

"Why did we choose Shadow Nexus? Because they don't fear the dark. They study it. Our collaborative research into negative space wouldn't have been possible anywhere else in the UK."
