Everything is Great by Simon Bedwell is the inaugural exhibition at ROOM 10, a new art space curated by Darren Flook and located in Bow Wharf, close to Victoria Park in East London.
Everything is Great continues Bedwell’s recent figurative, political and satirical glazed ceramic sculptures, last seen at Happy Now, a group exhibition curated by Flook at Season 4 Episode 6, London in 2025 and at Memories of the 5 Administrations a collaboration with artist Stephen Sutcliffe at Beaconsfield Gallery, London in 2024.
Simon Bedwell (b. 1963, UK) is a London-based artist who was previously co-founder of the art group BANK in the 1990s. BANK were a hugely energetic and provocative art collaboration, making art, staging group shows that included themselves and friends, running a space, and producing a satirical newspaper, all of which have now entered an almost legendary place in the alternative history of the British art world. Bedwell has since gone on to have an individual career that has included solo exhibitions at the influential White Columns in New York and Studio Voltaire in London. Bedwell's current works are ceramics, close in character to British satirical cartoons of the eighteenth century, akin to Hogarth in spirit and still in the vein of the abrasive, post-punk stance that made BANK so compelling.
