Bexhill-on-Sea Autumn Exhibitions Opening

On Thursday, 29 October 2026, the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill-on-Sea will host an opening party for its autumn exhibitions, featuring the works of Prem Sahib and Gordon Matta-Clark. The event, which is free and open to everyone, will provide a unique opportunity to experience these exhibitions before they open to the public. The exhibitions, which will run until Sunday, 3 January 2027, delve into the ways in which architecture and spaces influence our bodies, behaviours, and relationships.

Prem Sahib's work, spanning twenty years, encompasses a range of mediums, including sculpture, installation, and sound. His contributions to the exhibition will offer a diverse and immersive experience, inviting visitors to engage with the physical and emotional aspects of space. In contrast, Gordon Matta-Clark's work has had a profound impact on our understanding of buildings, cities, and architecture, and his presence in the exhibition will provide a thought-provoking counterpoint to Sahib's pieces.

The opening party will feature welcome drinks and an introduction from the Head of Visual Arts, setting the tone for an evening of exploration and discovery. As guests make their way through the exhibitions, they will have the chance to experience the works of these two innovative artists up close, and to consider the ways in which our surroundings shape us. With its unique blend of art, architecture, and human experience, this event is sure to leave a lasting impression on all who attend.

The De La Warr Pavilion, with its stunning location in Bexhill-on-Sea, provides the perfect backdrop for this exhibition.

As the autumn exhibitions prepare to open, this event offers a rare chance to experience the works of Prem Sahib and Gordon Matta-Clark in a unique and intimate setting, and to explore the complex relationships between architecture, space, and human experience.
