Two Temple Place is delighted to announce our next exhibition The Weight of Being (working title) due to open at the end January 2026, curated by Angela Thomas.

The Weight of Being will explore the profound ways in which external pressures shape artistic expression, mental health, and resilience, highlighting the power of art as a means of expression, resistance, and survival.

Including the work of a diverse range of twentieth century and contemporary artists and their varying perspectives, The Weight of Being will showcase how artists have captured the psychological and emotional impact of societal pressures, resilience in the face of adversity, and existential uncertainty.

Through the wide range of artists, mediums, and represented demographics, The Weight of Being is intended to spark meaningful conservations about resilience, identity, and emotional well-being, offering a profound reflection on the toll of existence and the strength found in shared experiences, ultimately fostering hope and deepening understanding.
