 Arriving in the night, a group of UK based artists explore themes of disturbance, dislocation and dissonance on the ancient island of Tamaran in the mid Atlantic. Informed by Guanche culture and in observance of Acoran, Chaxiraxi, Chijoraji and Magec, our contemporary Faykans present film, object and image in a miniature Bond Villain's lair...

(Working Title) Lanza Del Destino.  Working with the object as fetish item, mythological power tool and hybrid symbol, Samsworth rephrases a partial text by the artist Michael Dean to convene with the history and topicality of Gran Canaria.  Dean visited Gran Canaria as a tourist in 1988.

The Holy Lance (German: Heilige Lanze), also known as the Holy Spear, the Spear of Destiny, or the Lance of Longinus, is the name given to the lance that pierced the side of Jesus as he hung on the cross, according to the Gospel of St John. Several churches across the world claim to possess this lance.

Samsworth (b. Whitstable, Kent, 1963) makes work that acknowledges the role of the unknown, the mythological and the half truth, while exploring hierarchies, expediency and visual languages.
