Martyn Cross is a Bristol-based artist, represented by Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York and Hales Gallery, London.

Alison Larkman uses a wide range of approaches and scale to explore fragility and the unseen, reflecting her own life-altering experience of M.E. Her current project, I Would Be Here if I Could, places the words of people living with M.E. and Long Covid in the places they love but can no longer be. Visiting venues including Tate Gallery and Royal Opera House.    @iwouldbethereificould @alisonlarlarkman

 'No voiceover. No explanations. Just a terminal turning into something else.
A glimpse from the inside of the all aboard installation. Before the doors opened, before anyone knew what was coming.
The walls were already dreaming.
And yes, the full story is on its way.'
