Hastings Contemporary will present ‘Edge: Where the Land Meets the Sea’ from 26 September 2026 to 3 January 2027, bringing an environmental focus to the relationship between land and sea. The exhibition will take place at the contemporary art institution in Hastings, United Kingdom.
According to the announcement, the exhibition will examine the coastline as a zone of connection and exchange rather than a fixed boundary. Its central subject is the interaction between terrestrial and marine environments, with particular attention to the ways rivers, soils and oceans converge.
The exhibition’s framing addresses the coastline as a dynamic environmental system. It presents land and sea as interconnected spaces that contribute to sustaining life, while placing that relationship in the context of profound environmental change. The announcement does not identify the full list of participating artists or the total number of works to be shown.
One confirmed inclusion is Susie Hamilton’s ‘Lime Beach’, painted in 2018. The work is described as an acrylic and pencil painting on canvas, measuring 80 by 80 centimetres. It is signed, titled and dated on the reverse.
Hamilton’s work will appear within an exhibition whose subject extends beyond a conventional seascape display. The stated emphasis on exchange positions the shore as a meeting point for different ecological processes, providing the framework in which ‘Lime Beach’ will be shown. No further details about the painting’s imagery or Hamilton’s wider contribution to the exhibition have been released.
‘Edge: Where the Land Meets the Sea’ is scheduled to open at Hastings Contemporary on 26 September 2026 and remain on view through 3 January 2027.
