Almost without exception, the paintings in this selection depict single isolated figures rather than bodies intertwined. Perhaps revealingly, two figures do appear - one as a shadowy trace of the other - in the predominantly black painting, ‘Shadow’. Carrying an awareness that our most complex interior states can be traced back to bodily links and to the severance of such links, Andrew Litten seeks to assuage feelings of separateness through attachment. In this exhibition he explores attachment in two ways: through connections housed within an individual self, and through the visceral and dependent relationship that exists between an artist and their artwork.

Sylvia Wishart was a painter of terrific ability. Her location in Orkney and subsequent distance from her peers in the ‘art world’ has meant that her career has been somewhat overshadowed. However, her place in the story of Scottish painting is if the utmost importance, as a teacher, aesthete and artist of the highest calibre.

I want to make a show that tries to illuminate the space that exists between sincerity and irony, or between apparent honesty and the techniques used to convey or convince people about the truth of what they are being told. I want to look at the romanticism of the direct address, the idea that presenting something with no frills is an effort to not present it at all, but to allow it to be seen. Or the sensation of seeing something that feels true precisely because it is in the most manufactured of environments. I want to make a show that contains works about which I am absolutely certain precisely because the make me feel so unsure.

Formed thoughts explores the fundamental collaboration between maker and material in the forming of concepts and works. Curator Clare Twomey brings together work by artists Phoebe Cummings, Glithero (Tim Simpson & Sarah van Gameren) and Tracey Rowledge to explore the active dialogue that materials provoke in the conception of new work and in its physical formation.
‘Material use is a given in the making of art and craft objects. In this curation I address the use of materials from artists who predominately make contributions to practice within the areas of material specific works, engaging the materials as co authors.’ Clare Twomey, 2011

The exhibition of work by ZERO artist Christian Megert is arranged retrospectively: two typical mirror objects from the early 60s consist of several concave or convex, slightly tilted, partly overlapping vertical pieces of mirror. From the same time are his ‘labyrinthian lightbox’, a ‘cigar box’, and a ‘glass book’. As an example from the 70s we have an ‘endless light room’ and a light-kinetic object. The two mirrored compartment -pieces represent the 80s. The works from the last two decades are, with few exceptions, objects composed of polychrome mirror, glass and wood. They should be seen in the context of Megert’s earliest, monochrome, ‘mirror shards’.

The title of this exhibition references the revolutionary text by Sir Thomas More. Written in 1516 the novel holds as much resonance today as it did when it was first published. A forefather for science fiction the book depicts an imaginary society on an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. More describes the protagonist Raphael’s travels in a land of no private ownership, with a civilisation of unusual rituals and customs. At times the book has been claimed a satirical piece as much as a criticism of European society. Through this novel More brings to question the relationship between socialist utopian ideals and the realities of human existence.

In a wall of photographs taken of a dilapidated and about-to-be-demolished Liverpool department store (snatched as the light faded on the last day of trading) and in a bank of monitors showing footage filmed laboriously (and again secretly) over three long Winter/Spring months on the similarly derelict site of the 1984 'International Garden Festival' (currently being made ready for a possible re-opening), Andrews brings our peripheral vision into the foreground.

Curated by Alison Woodley - Adam Marsh looks at the function of classic forms and recreates them in a contemporary format. Our familiarity with, and the accessibility of objects such as plates and cups, means that playing with different contexts - whether as a single vessel or a collection - can change how their function is perceived. Handthrown, they are all slightly different with individual quirks and subtleties, which means that when grouped as an installation they form different lines and shadows, creating different points of interest according to individual perception.

Exploring the notion of decay, the artist will nostalgically stage the death of analog media by recording the progressive disappearance of the moving image by simultaneously exposing the visual flaws and scratches of the artist's continuous mixing, and processing of footage. Displayed on an obsolete RGB projector, deteriorated images of pop culture icons question our ambiguous relation to an irretrievable youth.

The international artist selected for the Square Mile Project in Bradford 2010 – 11, this exhibition will host paper cut outs, rugs, film, Xmas trees. Mixing and manipulating corporate logos and traditional Chinese symbols, Shanghai-based artist Chen Hangfeng makes intricate paper cut-outs that respond to both the era of mega-businesses and his own ancient heritage. Film and artworks are representative of mass production industry’s poor working conditions and total disregard for environmental standards. As a graphic designer Chen has created logos almost as often as he’s satirised them, which may be why his non-corporate work is as witty, aesthetically compelling and subtle as the best commercial advertising.

Staged across 11,000 sq ft of gallery space, 'Il Mistero delle Cattedrali' is the largest presentation of Kiefer's work ever made in London. Both title and exhibition reflect Kiefer's longtime fascination with the transformative nature of alchemy: 'The ideology of alchemy is the hastening of time, as in the lead-silver-gold cycle which needed only time in order to transform lead into gold. In the past the alchemist sped up this process with magical means. That was called magic. As an artist I don't do anything differently. I only accelerate the transformation that is already present in things. That is magic, as I understand it.'

Cell Project Space present a solo project by Laura Buckley; the gallery's second solo commission for the CYcLORAMA programme. Laura Buckley works sculpturally with projected light, making it visible as a medium and causing its dispersal in space, therefore the built environment and structural support that surrounds it have become an integral part of the work. For ‘Fata Morgana’, Buckley will realise an ambitious expansion of her practice incorporating her digital scans, ‘Moving Image Series’ (2010-11), as a starting point for a new intervention in the gallery.

Wilkinson Gallery is pleased to present their first solo exhibition with New York based photographer, Barbara Probst.
While photography traditionally directs the viewer to consider a single image, Probst’s intricate sequences are composed of a series of individual, but related, images, integrating numerous perspectives of a single moment. Subsequently these are never frozen moments. It is impossible to view one image within a series in isolation; instead, the eye constantly flutters back and forth. The artist achieves this perspectival complexity with the aid of radio-controlled shutter releases and often multiple photographers; the results are visually arresting and equally revelatory.

This exhibition quietly observes a group of works on paper over a 60-year period by a disparate set of artists, chiefly British and American, whose primary common denominator is an eye towards abstraction. Ideally it will give the viewer an opportunity to observe various means of expressing abstraction on paper that are both fluent and expansive - it is not about a hard edge or geometric visual language so much as an organic and ephemeral discourse.
The exhibition includes works by artists long associated with the gallery such as Larry Bell, Sam Francis, Robert Motherwell, William Scott, Graham Sutherland and William Tillyer. We are also pleased to include a few non-gallery artists with Ed Cohen, Yvonne Estrada and Brian Wood.

Simon Lee Gallery is pleased to announce our third solo exhibition of new work by British artist Toby Ziegler.
This group of paintings and sculptures deal with ideas of memory in an age of digital technology. The works trace an analogy between the degradation of images caused by repeated reproduction, and the systematic erosion and reinvention of memory over time.
Both the sculptures and paintings begin with found images. Archaelogists' grainy photographs of Palaeolithic stone carvings and low resolutions jpegs of Flemish Old Master paintings serve as motifs, and seem to refer back to a past in which painting and sculpture functioned as both parable and symbol. The analogy is extended by Ziegler's process of approximation that comes with digitally manipulating these images and then finding analogue equivalents for the pixels and virtual polygons that result.

The artist works with an alteration of the documentary format; a symbiosis of hood and documentary, an attempt to develop a new genre, the ‘hoodumentary’. Animated logotypes, his own soundtrack and aesthetics that draw inspiration from the world of Hip Hop and R’n’B and also references to
contemporary internet culture are all part of the artist’s output. Ilja Karilampi’s impressions are joined together in this video piece h00dumentary, a 22 minute essayistic collage of found footage, researched material and animated graphics. A short film with guns and one pair of sunglasses, made by the artist at the age of 12 at Studiegången, is also incorporated in ‘hoodumentary’s’ somewhat drifting picture.

Over the past twenty years, Hume has developed a distinctive visual language of bold, simplified forms to create paintings that engage the viewer with their pleasantly irresolvable quality. The exhibition, his first in London for over four years, brings together a large and varied body of new work that will occupy both the Hoxton Square and Mason’s Yard galleries.

Aicon Gallery New York is proud to present Méré Humd(r)um, a group exhibition of Contemporary art from a new wave of young Pakistani artists. The Urdu word Humdum, one syllable removed from its mundane English cousin, means someone who is so close that their breath and yours are one. The word Méré, with even less separating it from the minimal, almost pejorative, “mere” of the English language, is infused with belonging - it means mine. Together, Méré Humdum becomes a term of endearment for a mentor, a friend or a lover.

The Three x Three series of shows will feature three artists, artists who we feel relate to each other in some (not necessarily obvious) artistic way.
Each artist will take one wall for their work. The shows will take place throughout 2112 and approximately monthly/six week intervals. We shall be featuring three artists in each show, three artists who's work has been interesting us in recent times.

Appropriating its title from playwright Henrik Ibsen's final play, dating 1899 which debuted at London's Haymarket Theater, When We Dead Awaken is an exhibition that presents themes of art imitating life, and life imitating art. Combined with consciously melodramatic themes of adoration, petrification, and the plight of the artist, the exhibition comments on the myth of the artistic genius and the role of art as consciously self-aware.

Critical Dictionary declassifies selected terms in a playful manner to emphasise the open-ended, provisional and unfinished nature of language. The exhibition brings together an eclectic plethora of themes including: Flickr Sunset, Greenwich Meridian, Mycelium, Overt Research, Pencil Test and War Primer. The exhibition is inspired by Georges Bataille’s infamous anti-dictionary for the dissident Surrealist journal Documents. It explores and expands the previous incarnations of Evans’ Critical Dictionary project, which was first developed as the online art journal criticaldictionary.com and later published as an anthology by the same name by Black Dog Publishing.

This exhibition is inspired by a recent trip to Peru and the textiles of the Paracas and Nazca cultures from around 700BCE. The vibrancy and intricacy of their animal designs and symbols have influenced his palette. The paintings have been made using a series of layers to recreate the feeling of a piece of woven material. Using repetitive lines, circles and motifs, the paintings create the illusion of the depth of fabric, yet retain the sense of a painting.
Adam Green has exhibited widely, including major spaces such as the Royal Academy.

Curated by Alison Woodley - Matt Horne uses crystalline glazing that is time consuming and expensive to produce. There can be many failures, but also stunning effects. His work is hand thrown in porcelain: one of the most difficult clays to throw. Crystalline glaze is mixed using a variety of ingredients, some measured in minute amounts. It is applied thickly, up to 4mm, to encourage the glaze to run. The object is then placed on a pedestal and stood in a dish, to catch the run-off during the firing. The kiln reaches the maximum temperature, up to 1300°C, but is then cooled to a specific holding temperature in which crystals form in the glaze. The amount of time held at this temperature contributes to the size of the crystals, which occur randomly, making each pot unique.

Montgomery’s work references the Situationist tradition of capturing the audience’s attention in unexpected ways within the public realm. His heartbreaking and arresting poetry can be seen on hijacked advertising billboards in London, on the sides of trucks in Istanbul, on fire in the streets of Paris and this Spring lit up in the Brooklyn sky at night.
For his show at KK Outlet Montgomery has created a series of 3 large billboard poems on Old Street which reference the moral failure of Capitalism, the concerns of the Occupy movement, and new ideas of freedom in the city.
Montgomery’s work though is not all political diatribe, his voice is as much romantic and poetic as it is issue-based. His billboard poems, “somewhere between Jenny Holzer and T.S. Eliot” also relate to a tradition of modern British avant-garde poetry and concrete poetry of which he is an acolyte and collector.

Matthew Hawtin. A one off London solo exhibition of this ground breaking Canadian artist. The exhibition will showcase work from 1993 to the present that was produced in conjunction with the world famous record labels Plus 8 and Minus, owned by the legendary Richie Hawtin. Original paintings, prints and sculpture will be shown that highlight their working collaboration over the years and give a unique insight into their relationship within the history of electronic music. Elements of repetition, symmetry, colour, textures and reduction are explored within the artwork of Matthew Hawtin, ideas that run parallel with the development and progression in the music releases of Plus 8 and Minus.
