Role Exhibition/Text Key Analytical Focus
Curator A Little Closer (March – April 2023) Centred on the enduring influence of Paul Klee, the exhibition celebrated "visual invention," arguing for a practice that risks success and failure in the pure act of making.
Curator Field Notes (October – December 2022) This exhibition explored the "resonances" of artists' observations, using collage and a "collage of languages" to create "soundings of our times." Hewish referenced Monet’s wartime practice as an example of producing works that "envisage the better part of ourselves in a difficult world."
Writer (Introduction) Variations on World Making (Jacopo Dal Bello, June 2020) His essay analysed Dal Bello's work as an "auto-poetics," noting the tension between conceptual play and material force. He discussed the use of historical notation (Twombly, Bacon) as a serious "challenge" to the possibility of the 'new' in painting.
