Energy Console is a graduation show presented by Southend-based alternative art school TOMA’s current 2022-24 cohort.
The work in this exhibition explores a broad range of themes such as: emerging technologies and performativity, performance and textiles, orchards, permaculture, access intimacy, disability, anti-gallery, consumption and value, science fiction, motherhood, the body and imaginative play, expanded portraiture, photography, appropriation, memory and collaboration; and the resonance of past experiences in people, places, and things.
The exhibition is accompanied by a programme of free workshops and public events.
TOMA (The Other MA) is an 18-month artist-run education model and nomadic exhibition space based in Southend-on-Sea which supports artists who have faced barriers accessing art education and the ‘art world’.
