Tomorrow Saturday 17th October the gallery will be open between 10am - 1pm for ‘Slips’ a brand new commission by David Gilbert. We have adjusted our opening hours due to a private function happening in our community space during our regular opening hours.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause.

Pictured here ‘Two Fish I’ hangs above the entrance to Flatland Projects, a new public banner commission produced by the artist as part of ‘Slips’. This new banner will feature on the front of our building for the entirety of our Autumn and Winter programme.

Fish Skeleton (2026) has been produced as part of a series of works, newly comissioned for Slips Gilbert’s first solo institutional exhibition in Europe. At the centre of Slips is a newly commissioned site-specific photographic installation, which utilises the monumental scale of Flatland’s gallery space. The installation is an expansive collage of cut photographs and paper, swaying in the breeze and shifting with the natural light of the gallery space through the changing coastal autumnal and winter skies in Bexhill on Sea.

David Gilbert (b. 1982, New York, NY) lives and works in Los Angeles.

This edition has been generarously donated by the artist. The sale of editions from our shop go towards our artist commissioning programmes which we deliver in Bexhill for artists to explore new ideas, invest time into research and build new audiences.

You can purchase through our online shop, or by directly contacting us to arrange a purchase.

We are delighted to announce the second leg of Annie Whiles’ ‘Doorway Guardians’ opening in Bexhill on Saturday 3rd October 2026 alongside our newest commission in the gallery ‘Slips’ by David Gilbert.

Matt’s Gallery, KARST, and Flatland are pleased to announce the next chapter of Doorway Guardians, a year-long touring collaborative project by artist Annie Whiles.

Doorway Guardians is a series of three large woodcarvings by Whiles. They combine the imagery and culture of British seaside destinations with the media and methods of sacred painted medieval carvings, while echoing the artist’s memories of molded-plastic charity collection boxes of the 1960s and ’70s.

They are designed to sit in the entranceways and thoroughfares of gallery buildings. Their role as divine attendants is to be preoccupied but open, listening and on watch, to be touched. Throughout 2026 they will simultaneously occupy entrance spaces at Matt’s Gallery in London, KARST in Plymouth and Flatland Projects in Bexhill-on-Sea.

Image description: Installation view of a bright, white-walled gallery space. A large-scale photographic work fills most of the left-hand wall, showing a layered, dreamlike interior in muted blue, yellow, green, purple and pink, with drawn and constructed forms including draped fabric, flowers and a grid-like window shadow. On the right-hand wall hangs a smaller, dark-framed photograph illuminated in warm amber light, showing a circular, sun-like paper form. A small work hangs on the far wall between them. White linear lights extend across the ceiling above a pale wooden floor.
