Mamoth is delighted to present Where Can We Live But Days?, a group exhibition featuring eight artists. The exhibition meditates on how we navigate – and conceptualise – our passage through time and space.

Where Can We Live But Days? takes its title from a line in Philip Larkin’s poem ‘Days’ (1953). Larkin was, of course, asking a rhetorical question. As the work of the artists in the exhibition demonstrates, we are temporal creatures, fated to exist in a remembered past, an always-receding present and a future we might anticipate with hope or fear, but whose contours we will never quite know until it at last arrives. Days are where we live, and where we create – and recreate – our understanding of ourselves and of our world.
