Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Group Exhibition
Charles Williams, Lily Hughes, Jay Rechsteiner
Off Season, Margate
23–25 January 2026
Baby, It’s Cold Outside is a group exhibition taking place in a domestic setting as part of Off Season, Margate. Featuring works by Charles Williams, Lily Hughes and Jay Rechsteiner, the exhibition explores how we experience the outside world from within the shelter of home.
Paintings, objects and video are presented in a space normally associated with comfort and privacy, yet the works refuse to keep the world at a distance. Drawing on humour, everyday life, memory and wider social realities, the exhibition examines how meaning is shaped through fragments of information, personal experience and imagination.
The exhibition is open during the day on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday, Jay Rechsteiner will serve spaghetti as a deliberate gesture, integrating a simple domestic act into the exhibition experience. On Saturday evening, the exhibition programme expands to include poetry readings and a curated selection of short films.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside offers an intimate but uncompromising encounter with how domestic life absorbs, reshapes and sometimes resists the world beyond its walls.
