August is the month of harvest, of the last sun-kissed strawberries and long, bright nights. UKS’ late summer party celebrates the beginning of endings: of seasons and cycles, of the rhythms of work and rest, perhaps even of worlds fertilised with faith in infinite growth. Tonight, we revel in the pleasure of coming together. Against the backdrop of seasonal change, the one-night-only summer party exhibition evokes a world in transition – not only of summer slipping away, but of broader shifts in how we live, create and relate. Echoes of accumulation, release and exhaustion reverberate through the works, evoking spent systems and the emotional textures of transformation.

The summer party is collectively curated by UKS staff, with artistic contributions in video, installation and sound performance from Agnieszka Polska, Jessica MacMillan, Elise Macmillan and Mathew Lacosse.
