Maintenance Work Exhibition at The Good Rice Gallery Explores Care as Process
From May 21 to May 24, 2026, The Good Rice Gallery in London will host "Maintenance Work: Practices of Care," an exhibition featuring 18 artists who explore installation, performance, video, and sculpture. Curated by Berenice Berlan and Sowon Kim, this event is organized by a student steering committee from Central Saint Martins, UAL. The exhibition presents maintenance as a continuous process defined by care, attention, and repetition, rather than a completed act. The title derives from the Latin "manu tenere," which translates to holding with the hand, highlighting the concept of grasping. Artists participating include Abeer Al-Tamimi, Amina Jameel, and others. A private view is scheduled for May 21, 2026, from 6–9 PM.
