2 September – 1 October 2016

Alice Anderson, Phil Illingworth, Evy Jokhova. Artists discussion in the gallery Saturday 17 September 2pm. This exhibition takes inspiration from ‘The Europeans’, a novel by Rye author Henry James on the 100th anniversary of his death. The exhibition is a contemporary reflection on James’ tale of the relationship between ex-pats who cling onto the traditions and etiquette of their homeland much more fiercely than their less restrained, visiting cousins.
