Silke Otto-Knapp is a painter who works in the often-marginalised medium of watercolour. Unlike traditional watercolourists Otto-Knapp works on canvas, which allows her to repeatedly wash down her images, reworking them layer by layer, and therefore create pictures of great translucency and delicacy – effects enhanced by her recent use of silver and gold pigments.

 Art Now: Simon Callery   3 August  –  10 October 1999

 Art Now: Sophie Calle   5 June  –  16 August 1998
Sophie Calle is fascinated by the interface between our public lives and our private selves. This has led her to investigate patterns of behaviour using techniques akin to those of a PI, a psychologist, or a forensic scientist.

 Art Now: Graham Gussin   3 March  –  10 May 1998

 Art Now: Kathy Prendergast: City Drawings   11 March  –  11 May 1997
Prendergast's City Drawings are based on contemporary maps of the world's capital cities. However, she deliberately by-passes systems of orientation and classification, divesting her source material of its coded information..

 Art Now: Tacita Dean: Foley Artist   12 August  –  10 November 1996

 Art Now: Genevieve Cadieux: Broken Memory   5 September  –  5 November 1995

 Art Now: Marc Quinn: Emotional Detox   4 July  –  20 August 1995
Emotional Detox is a series of sculptures made of lead and cast from Marc Quinn's own body. Detoxification is shown both as an overpowering physical convulsion to rid the body of poisons, and as a psychological battle.
