Before It Was Water is a new body of sculpture and drawings by Czech artist Miroslava Večeřová. An exhibition at Amici Studio which opens the previous week, alongside her Sussex Spotlight presentation at Hastings Contemporary.

Every Second Breath is a new sound work from sound artist, composer and experimental performer Isobel Anderson; created in collaboration with Miroslava for this exhibition. It will be diffused across a custom-built sound system designed by Tony D. Birch.

Born in Prague, Czech Republic and based on the southern coast of the UK, Miroslava Večeřová works across sculpture, drawing, performance, installation and film, moving fluidly between abstraction and figuration. Her practice is rooted in an intuitive, process-led and research-informed approach, engaging with themes of environmental imagination, deep time, temporal fluidity, embodied ecology and shifting knowledge across cultures. By immersing herself in the living world, she collapses the boundary between the observer and the environment, treating her art as a continuous, two-way dialogue with nature.

Isobel Anderson is a sound artist, composer and experimental performer working across voice, listening and the poetics of place. Holding a PhD in Sonic Arts, her practice spans music, sound installation, performance and research, often blurring the boundaries between documentary, composition and sonic ritual. Her work has been presented at V&A Storehouse, Fotographia Europa and County Hall Pottery and amassing nearly 30 million streams.
