From the beginning Olga Malá this exhibition had an open concept, which, however, was clearly defined and polarized, as stated in its subtitle “Public Body & Artificial Space”, and tried to reflect topical artistic tendencies of the time. The concept of the second exhibition, “Other Times”, which included British artists only, was looser and more poetic; instead of specific themes it explored the nostalgia for capturing the elusive.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Abigail Lane Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) Victoria Miro Gallery, 4 October – 10 November 2001 The exhibition is organized by the Milton Keynes Gallery in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella The Victoria Miro Gallery presents a major solo exhibition of work by Abigail Lane. Tomorrows World, Yesterdays Fever (Mental Guests Incorporated) extends her preoccupation with the fantastical, the Gothic and the uncanny through a trio of arresting and theatrical installations which are based around film projections. Abigail Lane is well known for her large-scale inkpads, wallpaper made with body prints, wax casts of body fragments and ambiguous installations. In these earlier works Lane emphasized the physical marking of the body, often referred to as traces or evidence. In this exhibition Lane turns inward giving form to the illusive and intangible world of the psyche. Coupled with her long-standing fascination with turn-of-the-century phenomena such as séances, freak shows, circus and magic acts, Lane creates a “funhouse-mirror reflection” of the life of the mind. The Figment explores the existence of instinctual urges that lie deep within us. Bathed in a vivid red light, the impish boy-figment beckons us, “Hey, do you hear me…I’m inside you, I’m yours…..I’m here, always here in the dark, I am the dark, your dark… and I want to play….”. A mischievous but not sinister “devil on your shoulder” who taunts and tempts us to join him in his wicked game. The female protagonist of The Inclination is almost the boy-figment’s antithesis.

  • 'The Neo-Avant-Garde in Modern Scottish Art, And
    ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ CRAIG RICHARDSON DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (BY PUBLISHED WORK) THE SCHOOL OF FINE ART, THE GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART 2017 1 ‘THE NEO-AVANT-GARDE IN MODERN SCOTTISH ART, AND WHY IT MATTERS.’ Abstract. The submitted publications are concerned with the historicisation of late-modern Scottish visual art. The underpinning research draws upon archives and site visits, the development of Scottish art chronologies in extant publications and exhibitions, and builds on research which bridges academic and professional fields, including Oliver 1979, Hartley 1989, Patrizio 1999, and Lowndes 2003. However, the methodology recognises the limits of available knowledge of this period in this national field. Some of the submitted publications are centred on major works and exhibitions excised from earlier work in Gage 1977, and Macmillan 1994. This new research is discussed in a new iteration, Scottish art since 1960, and in eight other publications. The primary objective is the critical recovery of little-known artworks which were formed in Scotland or by Scottish artists and which formed a significant period in Scottish art’s development, with legacies and implications for contemporary Scottish art and artists. This further serves as an analysis of critical practices and discourses in late-modern Scottish art and culture. The central contention is that a Scottish neo-avant-garde, particularly from the 1970s, is missing from the literature of post-war Scottish art. This was due to a lack of advocacy, which continues, and a dispersal of knowledge. Therefore, while the publications share with extant publications a consideration of important themes such as landscape, it reprioritises these through a problematisation of the art object.

    G A G O S I A N G A L L E R Y Douglas Gordon: portrait of the evolving artist With his sublime new film installation, k.364, Douglas Gordon breaks down the boundaries between video art and portraiture Memorable journey ... Douglas Gordon's k.364, at the Gagosian Gallery, follows two musicians travelling to Warsaw. Photograph: Mike Bruce By Jonathan Jones, 7 March 2011 Douglas Gordon is as profound, serious, imaginative and stylistically bold as anyone could wish an artist to be. He has matured in richer, more surprising ways than any of his contemporaries. He is the best British artist of my generation and I am glad his sublime exhibition now on at London's Gagosian Gallery gives me an opportunity to say so. The powerful qualities of Gordon's art grip you right at the start of this exhibition in a photograph of an arm holding a candle. The candle is lit and has been burning for some time, dripping great grotesque dollops of wax. With a shock, you observe how the hot wax has flowed in rivulets that 6 – 2 4 B R I T A N N I A S T R E E T L O N D O N W C 1 X 9 J D T . 0 2 0 . 7 2 9 2 . 8 2 2 2 F . 0 2 0 . 7 2 9 2 . 8 2 2 0 L O N D O N @ G A G O S I A N .

Our founders in 1768 comprised some of the greatest figures of the British Enlightenment, King George III, Reynolds, West and Chambers, supported and advised by a wider circle of thinkers and intellectuals such as Edmund Burke and Samuel Johnson. It is no exaggeration to suggest that their original inten- tions for what the Academy should be are closer to realisation than ever before. They proposed a school, an exhibition and a membership.

  • Microcosm/Macrocosm
    Hong Kong SOHO MICROCOSM/MACROCOSM Featuring works by Du Zhenjun, Sayaka Ishizuka, Hew Locke, Li Tianbing, and Ren Ri Exhibition Dates 20 January–3 March, 2017 Monday–Saturday, noon–7pm; Sunday, noon–5pm Venue Pearl Lam Galleries Hong Kong SOHO No. 1, G/F & 1/F, SOHO 189, 189 Queen’s Road West, Sheung Wan Hong Kong—Pearl Lam Galleries is pleased to present MICROCOSM/MACROCOSM, a group exhibition featuring works by five leading contemporary artists: Du Zhenjun, Sayaka Ishizuka, Li Tianbing, Hew Locke, and Ren Ri. Defined by ancient Greek philosophers, microcosm and macrocosm are two aspects of a theory used to describe the similarity and relations between human beings and the universe. Each exhibiting artist encapsulates an imaginary universe from macroscopic and microscopic perspectives in their unique methodologies and mediums. “Art is a re-creation of the universe from a personal perspective; it offers man, in effect, a new reality to contemplate.” —Leonard Peikoff, 1991 Du Zhenjun’s Babel World series explores his imagination and visions of post-dystopian ruins, and is an artist’s retort to what Du thinks the world is becoming. Du believes digital media is the most relevant way of making art in an era shaped by digital technologies. With the myth of Babel as a backdrop, Du reinterprets the Book of Genesis in the present day by creating a digitally assembled collage, spotlighting a different facet of modern conflict. Ren Ri achieves his artistic goal with the unique medium of beeswax. By investigating the psychology of bees, Ren’s mesmerising sculptures document his intimate experience with bees as both an artist and a beekeeper.
