Cluster is pleased to present the solo exhibition Right to Rage with a series of new works by British-Russian visual artist Tribambuka.

Misspell is the fifth exhibition that Ronch has presented with Cluster London since 2015, marking the next chapter of an ongoing collaborative partnership.

MAY 2019

To celebrate we’re beginning 2019 by throwing our largest fair to date, pulling the threads and gathering the talent to fill to the brim three floors of atmospheric warehouse interiors at 47/49 Tanner Street. You’ll find offbeat examples from the fields of Craft and Illustration, each spanning across two of three floors, an expansive treasure trove to delve into. And for the creators out there, we’re a fourth space, The HUB, which will be filled each and every day with back to back workshops, screenings and talks. Creating a space to socialise, network, learn, absorb, make, test, learn, buy and sell.
