Nowhere Less Now: Artist walk and talk

The first major exhibition to take place at ArtHouse Jersey at Capital House in 2025 will be UK-based artists Lindsay Seers and Keith Sargent’s ambitious immersive installation Nowhere Less Now. From Thursday 30 January 2025 the exhibition space will be completely transformed into the upturned hull of a ship and will invite people to enter a haunting exploration of time and memory.

Artists Linsday Seers and Keith Sargent will also be holding a unique artists Walk & Talk through the installation on Friday 31 January at 6pm at ArtHouse jersey at Capital House, inviting the public to learn more about their methods and inspiration behind Nowhere Less Now. The talk will be free to attend and will be open for bookings in January.

Head of Programme for ArtHouse Jersey, James Tyson, said: “Nowhere Less Now offers to bring you into a space where everything is moving and the dreamlike visions of the artists are brought to life like a strange, beguiling journey. We are delighted to have brought this latest iteration of this fascinating, immersive project to Jersey after its previous versions at major art museums and galleries internationally.”

Artists Lindsay Seers and Keith Sargent, said: “Nowhere Less Now was originally conceived in 2012 after 2 years of extensive research in archives around the world. We are now in our 8th iteration of this work. The ship (HMS Kingfisher) that inspired our work was built in the port’s dock which is visible from the windows of our house on the Isle of Sheppey. We have a photograph of my great-great-uncle George who was on an anti-slaving mission. I found him in the National archive at Kew. The venues have been extraordinary – including a Googie building complete with a dancing alien in a country that has banned dancing.

“This last version is unclad and the bare bones of the ship’s hull hold the work in multiple projections and soundscapes. This is Nowhere Less Now’s final outing disembarking at Jersey, an end of a 15 year journey.”
