What Time is Love? is an exhibition created by six artists from Peckham based collective Intoart responding to the domestic space of Flat Time House, the studio home of artist John Latham (1921–2006). Incorporating textiles, furniture, book works, drawing, painting, sculptural garments and photography, the artworks in What Time is Love? speak in chorus about moments of connection and belonging.

This group exhibition has grown from time spent by the artists at Flat Time House over two years, with the house forming a space to reflect, talk about their practice and think collectively. The monumental scale and ambition of these works is politically charged, representing at once the energy and emotional intensity of the dancer whilst confronting the marginalisation of disabled people in the history of art.

The exhibition title, taken from the KLF’s 1988 electronic dance anthem What Time is Love? references a shared subject of exploration for the group: alternative histories of music and culture. Over the course of the artists’ extended research, they explored how self-identities are expressed through sound and are formed and evolve from different cultural backgrounds and sonic contexts. The works in conversation reveal deep connections and histories shared by the artists as part of Intoart, the community of which has developed into a scene in its own right over the past 25 years.

A collection of cassette tapes curated by the artists, and featuring contributors close to FTHo and Intoart, has grown over time as the exhibition developed. Cassettes are available to listen to in the gallery alongside the artworks, serving as an audio mapping of the cultural scenes feeding into the production of the works on display.
