The exhibition will run from

For his exhibition at Moon Grove, artist David Osbaldeston has created a suite of site-specific works for the gallery’s intimate domestic location. Spread between the building’s ground floor rooms, entrance, staircase and first floor landing, Osbaldeston’s prints and paintings dwell on contemporary criticism associated with Nietzsche’s ‘Eternal Return[ii]’, alongside bourgeois elements of taste associated with Modernism and philosophical aesthetics development since the Enlightenment.
