Spaghetti Soirée
Spaghetti Soirée is an ongoing domestic exhibition format organised by Jay Rechsteiner in Cliftonville, Margate.
Rather than a conventional gallery opening, it brings together paintings, food and conversation within a lived space.
Pressure. Friction. Instability.
First instalment featuring works by Adam Lucy, Rory Draper and Jay Rechsteiner.
The works are placed together to test how they behave in relation to one another. Some images hold, others resist or refuse to fully settle.

Pressure. Friction. Instability. is the first instalment of Spaghetti Soirée, a domestic exhibition format organised by Jay Rechsteiner in Cliftonville, Margate.
The exhibition brings together works by Adam Lucy, Rory Draper and Jay Rechsteiner. Rather than functioning as a conventional gallery exhibition, the project places paintings within a lived domestic space where food, conversation and the viewing of works exist alongside one another.
The exhibition opens with a small invitation only Spaghetti Soirée on Friday 5 June 2026 and continues afterwards through a series of open viewing days and appointments.
The works were selected not because they share a unified style, but because they each approach painting through different forms of tension, instability and painterly resistance.
The exhibition acts as an experiment in coexistence. The paintings are placed together to test how different forms of image making behave in relation to one another within a shared space. Some images hold together, others resist resolution or remain deliberately unsettled.
