On The Edge is a multimedia exhibition of work by members of the Royal Society of Sculptors, made at a time when the world is on the edge, with climate change and war in Ukraine. The exhibition was held for the first time at Espacio Gallery, 159 Bethnal Green Road, London E2 7DG from 14-19 March 2023, with a Private View on the evening of Thursday 16th of March. A series of guided tours and workshops took place during the exhibition.
The exhibition co-curated by Tere Chad, Caroline Russell and Emma Elliott takes a quote from the Ukrainian poet Boris Khersonsky, that has inspired debate and discussion between the exhibiting artists throughout almost a year of online meetings: ‘Every hut in our beloved country is on the edge. And to be honest, I’m on the edge too. I feel sorry for the ones at the centre, but really I’m especially sorry for the ones in the camp towers, watching the frosty distance…’
