WITHOUT WALLS

The Winchester Gallery has always been a programme that exceeds the main gallery. In recent years, the West Side Foyer, Case Studies (East Side), and the WSA Array have provided experimental venues for students, staff, and visiting artists that complement and extend our main gallery programme. Beyond WSA, we support curatorial projects devised by students and staff in venues across the UK and around the world. This section of the Archive documents our history of being a gallery without walls.

A collage combines a line‑drawing of a person labelled “IDEA” with a schematic diagram of hands operating a device, overlaid on a tinted photograph of someone using a headset. Vertical colour bands in grey, peach and orange divide the composition.

Intrusive Images

12 to 30 May

Our first campus-wide screening event. ‘Intrusive images’ explored the theme of access, through creative practice, to technology and physical and institutional space.

A beige graphic features an irregular, hand‑drawn white outline resembling a loose map or pathway shape. The line curves and angles across the centre of the image on a plain background.

Whispers

7 to 17 May 2026

A public art trail that connected the existing campus of Winchester School of Art (WSA) and Winchester Gallery with Capital House, a former civic building currently being transformed into a Centre for Creative Technologies.

Blue light washes across a glass façade with metal framing, highlighting the geometric lines of the structure. The interior ceiling and beams are faintly visible through the tinted windows.
