‘Alien Shores’ explores landscape as a place of memory, imagination, yearning and belonging. Through painting, video, photography and sculpture, it offers speculative, symbolic or surreal depictions of emotional terrain and voyages of the imagination; visions of the distant past or possible futures. These are landscapes once removed: shaped by emotional distance, filtered through technology, mythology or abstraction.
In a time of ecological crisis and accelerating technological evolution, the once-familiar ground beneath us feels increasingly unstable. The artists included in ‘Alien Shores’ envision landscape as a space of inquiry - where physical geography gives way to metaphorical, psychological, philosophical and futuristic realms. These worlds reflect both our alienation from nature and our enduring need to locate ourselves within it.
Artists include Etel Adnan, Alia Ahmad, Michael Armitage, Milton Avery, Sholto Blissett, Pranay Dutta, Fernanda Galvão, Noémie Goudal, Hung Fai, Sky Hopinka, Shara Hughes, Marguerite Humeau, Eva Jospin, Anselm Kiefer, Richard Mayhew, Ken Gun Min, Joan Nelson, Isamu Noguchi, Minoru Nomata, Bagus Pandega and Kei Imazu, Emilio Perez, Marina Rheingantz, Cinga Samson, Tomás Sánchez, Emma Webster, Alyina Zaidi and Robert Zehnder.

An international art powerhouse, White Cube was established in 1993 in London by art dealer Jay Jopling. In its space on Duke Street, it served as the early exhibition venue for many now internationally acclaimed British artists, including Tracey Emin, Gilbert & George, Rachel Kneebone and Antony Gormley, who still show with the gallery today.
