Flatland Projects presents Martyn Cross My Assembled Selves
Flatland Projects
until 5 November 2023, Free Admission
Flatland Projects is incredibly excited to present My Assembled Selves a solo exhibition by Bristol based Artist Martyn Cross.
Within this surreal and earthy presentation, Cross merges personal, elemental and historic fragments to create a series of works untethered to any singular era, person or place. Witnessed collectively, a sense of estranged self-portraiture emerges as divergent facets of psychology, ecology, fable and history collage within each work.
Opening event: Saturday 2 September, 4.00pm to 7.00pm, open to all
Venue details:
Flatland Projects, Beeching Road Studios, Unit 7, Beeching Road, Bexhill on Sea, TN39 3LJ
This exhibition has been generously supported by Arts Council England, Hales Gallery, Rother District Council and East Sussex Arts Partnership.

About Flatland Projects
Flatland Projects is an East Sussex based artist-led exhibition, education, and community programme founded in 2018 by artists Ben Urban & Billy Stanley in Hastings, East Sussex.
Flatland's core focuses are to support artists of an emerging stage of practice to reach new audiences, access funding, and to create collaborative ambitious projects with artists for the first time in their career. In 2019 Phoebe Cripps joined Flatland as an associate curator following on from her curated group show at the gallery Slippery Bodies which was part of the public programme of Still I Rise: Feminisms Gender Resistance Act II at the De La Warr Pavilion.
Since opening Flatlands has received 4 rounds of Arts Council England Project Grant funding which has enabled the programme to remain free and open to all.
Flatland Projects has now moved to Bexhill on Sea where it will run and deliver the exhibition, education, and early career studio programme at Beeching Road Studios in partnership with Rother District Council.
