Jill Tate

Jill Tate’s solo exhibition at Seventeen is the first in a series of collaborations with Gertrude the art app.

Tate's latest body of work explores the concept of ground truth - information derived from direct observation - and its profound relevance to contemporary perceptions of reality, especially in light of quantum physics.

Drawing from an archaeological perspective, Tate meticulously examines the nuanced relationship between visible and invisible structures shaping our surroundings. The exhibition serves as a catalyst for contemplation, prompting audiences to reflect on the notion of dwelling and the compelling contrast between comfort and constraint within its walls.
