Hardcore Software

 

curated by eponymous collective

Hypha x Eastern City Studios, 130 Fenchurch Street, London EC3M 5LY

PV: Thursday, 28th May 2026, 6 – 9pm
Open: 29th May – 4th July 2026, Tuesday – Saturday, 11am – 7pm (closed from 2.15 – 3pm)

Hardcore Software is a practice-driven collective united by a bold engagement with the body in all its material, relational, and mediated forms. Their work explores how embodiment intersects with space, technology, and other bodies across both physical and hyper-real (online/digital) environments, moving from the tender and sensual to the sharp and visceral.

In dialogue with Hypha Studios and its new exhibition space on Fenchurch Street, their proposal foregrounds embodied experience as a site of connection, disruption, and shared encounter.

Closest stations are Fenchurch Street, Monument, Aldgate and Liverpool Street stations.
