"What have you got if you haven't got love?" (Eartha Kitt, Mink Schmink) Just like a timeless tune, or a legendary French perfume, this group exhibition has top notes of glamour, style and bling, mid notes of aspiration, beauty and mortality and lingering just a little longer than is comfortable are base notes of vanity, envy and greed. Mink Schmink oscillates between high and low culture and draws in the gold-digging, superficial, fake, embroidered, wishful, delusional and longing worlds that fill our emotional voids. This show is a colourful blast for all the senses, with sculpture, painting, photography, print and performance from Emma Barrow, Deni Francis, Phil Illingworth, Denise Mahon, Eleanor Moulsdale, Starchild, Boa Swindler, David Wightman, Chiara Williams and Irlanda Zantone. We also pay tribute to Eartha Kitt, who sadly passed away on Christmas day and who provided the inspiration for the show. Press Thurs 15 Jan 6-9pm PV Friday 16 Jan 6-9pm First Thursdays 5 Feb 6-9pm
