Copywrong & Honourmastics 9th May- 23rd Aug 2026

We are delighted to be exhibiting work this season by A T Kabe Wilson, artist, experimental poet and archival scholar, and artist-in-residence at Jesus College Cambridge, the former college of Laurence Sterne.

Kabe Wilson with Laurence Sterne's portrait at Jesus College Cambridge

Copywrong looks to Graham Greene’s 1985 thriller The Tenth Man, a novel about how pieces of paper can change the course of a person’s life, and presents a copy of the text, physically altered in line with the story it tells.

Alongside Copywrong, this exhibition will feature work from Kabe’s forthcoming painting series, Honourmastics, developed as part of his 2025/26 residency at Jesus College, Cambridge, ahead of the project’s launch in Cambridge in June. Honourmastics presents a new style of portraiture where the abstracted geometry of a person’s name, rather than their physical appearance, becomes the focus of a painted depiction. Having taken major inspiration from Sterne’s novel – a work about the significance of names – Kabe will celebrate Shandy Hall’s literary heritage by exhibiting the first Honourmastic of a fictional character, Sterne’s titular hero, Tristram Shandy.
