Doodle Swing! Sat 26th May. See events page...

Our Autonomous Nature exhibition. 22nd - 25th May.

The Doodle Bar is a space where people have the freedom to enjoy a good scribble, have a drink and hook up with some fellow doodlers. The bar is set against the backdrop of TESTBED1 - a dramatic and versatile arts and events space for creative innovation, ideas and experimentation. 

  • Filling in Forms: an exhibition of recent paintings by artist and illustrator Will Marshall

    Exhibition runs from 15th May until 20th May (usual Doodle Bar opening times, see below). Private View Tuesday 15th May 7pm - 11pm.
    Free admission.

    Once described as 'the kind of paintings you could imagine being on display in a gallery in a cartoon', Will Marshall's pieces reference classical composition and pose, using a bold and graphic style that amuses and entertains.

  • Our Autonomous Nature: Naturally LInked In

    Exhibition runs from Tuesday 22nd May until Friday 25th May 11am - 7pm. Private View on Wednesday 23rd May 7pm - 10pm.
    Free admission.

    In a time of green conversation and rerouting, we look at artists' re-evaluation of our connection to nature. Established and emerging artists alike come together to experiment in something old and something new in TESTBED1 including, amongst others; Grenville Davey, Phil Dobson, Brigitte Stepputtis, and Will Alsop. Curated by Chloë Tinsley as part of the Chelsea Fringe Festival the exhibition provides an environment of reflection, of organic engagement and contribution to the dialogue between art and landscape.

  • TESTBED1: Sounding Motion presents Immersion in Space

    Sounding Motion presents their debut programme combining live music and dance. Through works of Berio, Mansurian and a specially commissioned work by Benjamin Graves for viola, percussion and dancers, we travel through the folk cultures of Sicily, Armenia and Britain and discover how artists translate folk into contemporary through movement and sound.
