The 2019 Bush Hous exhibition explores and challenges philosophical conceptions of migration, time and meaning. Resident artists Becky Brewis, Ben Cain, Ted Hunt and Jort van der Laan present work in response to research in the Department of Philosophy by Dr Sarah Fine on the ethics of migration, Dr Christopher Hamilton on the search for meaning and Professor Matthew Soteriou on the nature of time.Ted Hunt's work Sense of Time investigates the intersections between our ancient behavioural-driven selves and modern technologically-driven selves.

Ben Cain's practice deals with themes of work, labour and artistic action. Cain has recurrently explored art’s ambiguous relationship to industry, commodification and immaterial labour.Working primarily with video, printed matter, and sculptural installation, Jort van der Laan’s work investigates ways in which body and mind are flesh-bound to a political present.Using pencil and video, Becky Brewis' work explores memory and the grubby handling of images over time.
