Wakefield-based artist Zoë Carlon’s solo exhibition of new paintings at South Parade in East London is playful and evocative. I felt the paintings call to me, inviting me into a series of intimate scenes, into the interior spaces of an imagination wandering in solitude. I didn’t feel I belonged in these places, but that I was being allowed temporary access for an encounter. Where and When You Are coincides with the publication of a selection of photographs taken by Carlon, Photographs 2020-2023.

Witold Gombrowicz, Polish novelist, essayist and playwright, observed, commented and critiqued contemporary society and the human condition. His writings are eccentric, unique, and though they are rooted in Poland they extend beyond these borders, held in high esteem by writers such as Susan Sontag, Jean-Paul Sartre and Milan Kundera. His first novel Ferdydurke, published in Warsaw in 1937, was a great success, causing a stir with many viewing it a controversial depiction of Polish society.
