No Future is an exhibition of works from Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon’s Punks series at Château d’Oiron. From 1976 to 1977, Karen Knorr and Olivier Richon documented the London punk scene revolving around the Roxy in Covent Garden and the Global Village in Charing Cross. The first prints from the series were originally presented at The Photographers’ Gallery in 1978, and featured many years later, in 2012, at Tate Britain in the retrospective titled Another London.

Located in Oiron, in the Deux-Sèvres département of western France, Château d’Oiron is a majestic Renaissance building constructed from the 16th century onwards by Claude Gouffier, Grand Equerry to King Henry II.
