THURSDAY 1 MAY

Chisenhale Gallery, 6:30-8:30pm private view 'How to Work Together: Celine Condorelli'

www.chisenhale.org.uk/exhibitions/forthcoming.php?id=138

64 Chisenhale Road London E3 5QZ UK

This new commission forms a part of How to work together, a shared programme of commissioning and research organised by Chisenhale Gallery, The Showroom and Studio Voltaire. Condorelli’s exhibition develops from her ongoing engagement with friendship as a condition for working together. This new body of work explores how relationships are articulated by the things that surround us in both useful and purposeless ways, through furniture-like objects, devices for inhabitation or display, props and drawing.


Maria Stenfors, 6:30-8:30pm private view Philip Newcombe 'Company'

www.mariastenfors.com/exhibitions/philip-newcombe-company/

Unit 10, 21 Wren Street, London, WC1X 0HF

www.thegraffitilifegallery.co.uk

26 Cheshire Street, London, E2 6EH

The TML Stars are a three man art collective who have been producing work together in their distinctive style since 2000. Each member brings different ethics and motivation to the work, but their common goal is just to create.


Gallery SO, 6-9pm private view The Other Side: Jewellery & Objects from Australia and New Zealand  

www.galleryso.com/exhibitions/54/overview/

92 Brick Lane, London E1 6RL

Is there an identifiably ‘other’ side to jewellery practice from half a world away? Or are we all citizens of the networked, web-informed, exchange-programmed and really-very-small world of contemporary jewellery? As new cultural histories are being written to redress a longstanding Eurocentric view of the applied arts, do they identify distinct and valuable contemporary activity in the Southern Hemisphere which informs and enriches global practice?


4th Floor Studios, 6-11pm private view Eigengrau - visual noise

www.facebook.com/events/631047813629257/?fref=ts

4th Floor East and West, 255-259 Commercial Rd, E1 2BT

Artists: Jenny Ball, Nikhil Patel, Joshua Reidy, Magdalena Joanna Wittchen
We are a group of four artists working alongside each other to create an exciting exhibition that embodies eigengrau. Using different mediums/disciplines we aim to conjure visual noise with a selection of new works for a one day event at 4th floor studios.


The CASS Gallery, 6-8pm private view CuRate group show

www.facebook.com/events/586262131465252/

59-63 Whitechapel High Street, E1 7PF

cu·rate is a group exhibition that aims to explore curatorial practice in the contemporary through interdisciplinary collaborations between artist and curator. The exhibition will be based in The CASS Gallery on Whitechapel High Street. Co-curated by Phoebe V. Bradford, Natalie Craven and Abigail Shamah.


Kate MacGarry Gallery, 6-8pm private view Luke Gottelier and max Mamb 'Painting and Furniture'

www.katemacgarry.com

27 Old Nichol Street London, E2 7HR

Artists: Max Lamb, Luke Gottelier
Kate MacGarry is pleased to present an exhibition of furniture by Max Lamb and paintings by Luke Gottelier. Both bodies of work employ a very direct and physical approach – each piece in the exhibition was created in one day. The works in the show are characterised by the primitive, physical process of their creation.


Schwartz Gallery, 6-9pm First Thursday Lana Locke 'Damaging Objects'

www.schwartzgallery.co.uk

92 White Post Lane London, E9 5EN

Damaging Objects is the first in a series of solo exhibitions by emerging contemporary artists at Schwartz Gallery, and Lana Locke’s first gallery solo show.
Damaging Objects has two implications for the art objects in the exhibition: objects that have damage done to them, and objects that are enacting damage (or planning to). Building on the themes of Locke’s practice-based PhD on The agonistic struggle of the art object against the space in which it is installed, the objects and the gallery space become adversaries in a power struggle. Setting up a precarious environment in the gallery, the twin strands of damage seep from the objects as they engage with the space: the one strand aggressive, picking a fight with the space; the other melancholic, fragile, and licking their wounds.


Studio1.1 Gallery, 6-9pm private view Alexandr Buhler 'Archetypes and Lines'

www.studio1-1.co.uk

57a Redchurch St London E2 7DJ

We are very pleased to announce Alexander Bühler’s second solo show with us at studio1.1. Alongside his work as a painter he has always been a fabricator too, a maker of minute enigmatic constructions, of boxes. In recent years Bühler has moved increasingly away from painting and into bookmaking. Not book-production, but book-creation, the handmade incorporation of an artist’s work into an object also made by hand.


The Residence Gallery, 7-9pm private view Rckay Rax 'The Sucker'

www.residence-gallery.com

229 Victoria Park Rd, London, E9 7HD

For his first solo show the multi disciplinary artist exhibits a series of collages compiled from heterosexual porn magazines ("because it's cheaper than gay porn"), depicting cutup body parts and limbs that form hybrid humanoid entities, often entangled in apparently sexual positions, or trying to look sexy yet the titles imply representations of institutions and figures of authority, or clichés of heroic manly behavior and technology used perhaps in cheap book titles.
"Prime Minister" by Rckay Rax, (mixed media, 59.1cm x 93.4cm, 2013. photo credit: Adam Laycock)

Transition Gallery, private view Genieve Figgis ‘Any Place But Here’

www.transitiongallery.co.uk/htmlpages/Any_place_but_here.html

Unit 25a Regent Studios, 8 Andrews Road, London E8 4QN

Figgis' characters are often royal or religious rulers, people whose image stands as a representative of their high status. She is interested in revealing the things hidden from view to reveal the façade of portraiture. Her recent work has started to inquire into the scenery surrounding the portraits - the decor that provides an important part of their power and authority. She depicts how she imagines the times to be, trying to get beyond what the history books tell us, to revel in an enjoyment of the costumes and the staging of the drama.


FRIDAY 2 MAY

This Swedish artist/activist group was established in 2003 to promote the free sharing of information, culture and intellectual property. The exhibition presents screenings, installations and artworks by founding and more recent members, keen to tell the story of the group on their own terms. It features newly commissioned work by artists Geraldine Juarez and Evan Roth, and a new networked audio collaboration which mediates their rich archive and foregrounds the role of piracy as an agent of innovative disruption and cultural transmission.

‘This is the Tunes and Whispered’ will feature seven large format paintings that explore a dialogue between Eastern Buddhism and Western consumerism.

Although the world’s oldest organisation of its kind, the society has continued to evolve and embrace the new, perhaps one of the reasons why it is still here – a true illustrator cannot be separated from the soul in their work.

Charlie Smith London, 6:30-8:30pm private view Fleursdumal group show 

www.charliesmithlondon.com

336 Old St, London, EC1V 9DR 

Curated by Dolly Thompsett 
Artists: Emma Bennett, Michael Boffey, G L Brierley, Bernhard Martin, Neal Rock, Dolly Thompsett
The artists in this show demonstrate within their painterly flourishes a strange beauty that alludes to a sense of corruption and to the festering nature of an often hidden aspect of human consciousness.
The work selected relates to Baudelaire’s collection of 19th century poems ‘Les Fleurs du mal’ by embracing an awareness of death, degeneracy and pain. The six artists in the exhibition have developed visual vocabularies that echo Baudelaire's syntax in order to elucidate something, something that speaks most strangely of beauty.
Emma Bennett 'Watching the Dark', 2013 Oil on canvas 122x91.5cm

www.herrickgallery.com

1 French Place, London, E1 6JB 

Herrick Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of Hedley Roberts’ new and recent paintings, featuring pairings of portraits that propose notions of desire, ritual and the potentially macabre with unsettling masked/unmasked visages. Sometimes painting in the dark, the artist immerses himself in a process of material concealing and revealing until the work reaches a position of otherness.
Mint Julep - Hedley Roberts, 2014

Parasol Unit, 7pm Lecture: Alien Culture, & Others (£5/6)

The encounter with difference has always been at the heart of science fiction, even if the genre has not always engaged with otherness wisely or well. Dr Mark Bould will draw on classic and contemporary sci-fi texts, films and programmes, as well as artists such as Kiluanji Kia Henda and the Black Kirby Project, whilst discussing how sci-fi explores identity and questions of race.

Union Gallery, 6-9pm private view Rainer Neumeier 'Reprimer'

www.union-gallery.com 

94 Teesdale Street, London, E2 6PU

Neumeier’s work sits on the boundary between painting, sculpture and performance. The artist leaves his mark on the work but is in a constant discourse with the surface’s former self. The exhibition offers a unique opportunity for the viewer to unravel the story of a work’s creation and its previous incarnations. REPRIMER establishes a new way of thinking about painting and constitutes an overdue reinvestigation into the medium, creating a new manner of thinking about paint, in reaction to the obsession of looking back to the past.

Howard Griffin Gallery, 6:30pm private view Pablo Delgado 'Even Less'

http://howardgriffingallery.com/exhibitions/pablo-delgado-even-less/

189 Shoreditch, High Street, E1 6HU

The title of the exhibition reflects Delgado’s obsessive focus in minimising and reducing his work to its smallest expression. The constant need to be less reflects the world’s unsustainable requirement for resources and necessities. As a counterpoint to this, minimalism and an emphasis upon negative space become a paramount means of expression.


FRIDAY 16 May

Narrative Gallery, 6-8pm screening Rickshaw no.1 (Two Times Three) 2009 by Rachel Lowe

www.narrativegallery.com

35 Riding House Street, London W1W 7EA

narrative gallery and the Mews Projects are pleased to present a screening of a piece by Rachel Lowe; the first project in a series of week-long exhibitions, developed in collaboration between the two spaces, and presented at narrative gallery.
Originally recorded on super-8 film in Lahore in 1995, Rickshaw no.1 (Two Times Three) 2009 depicts two separate journeys throughout this Pakistani city.
Shown simultaneously as one single projection, buildings, people, half-seen events, rush past indiscriminately.
Butting up against each other, the three-minute films, which are shown in their entirety, create a seam running down the centre of the image. This seam, where the two peripheral viewpoints collide, emphasises the intangibility of each depiction, whilst also suggesting that they are somehow incomplete.


ASC Gallery, 6-9pm private view 'You who are strangers' group show

www.ascstudios.co.uk/asc-gallery/

Erlang House, 128 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 8EQ

Artists: Megan Broadmeadow | Vera Kox | Lisa Selby

13/14 Cornwall Terrace (Outer Circle) London NW1 4QP

Based on the subject of physicality and topicality within the delirious metropolis, Toru Ishii’s first solo exhibition in the UK aims to achieve a hybrid of expression in elements such as the past and present and the digital and analogue. He challenges how traditional art can exist in this modern age, and attempts to find a new paradigm of art by employing long-established techniques. These works are in a two-part series, Salarymen and After-image.


WEDNESDAY 21 MAY

Chisenhale Gallery (Offsite), 7-8:30pm Mapping Internal Time

www.chisenhale.org.uk

The Hub Building, Victoria Park, E9 5DU

Our most common forms of keeping track of our lives – the CV and the social media timeline – plot ‘career stages’ and ‘life events’ along a straight line of standard units. Do they let us represent our most valuable experiences as we really live them? Cathy Haynes leads a workshop in experimenting with other ways of mapping time, taking inspiration from the novel Tristram Shandy, designer Otto Neurath and ancient Stoic philosophers.

16 John Islip St, London SW1P 4JU

An exhibition of sculptures and drawings by the 1992 Turner Prize-winning artist Grenville Davey. This work, inspired by notions in T-duality and mirror symmetry in string theory where there are surprising pairings of objects, is borne out of collaboration and exchanges of ideas with Dr David Berman from Queen Mary University of London. The viewer is challenged to see beyond difference and explore the relationships between pairs. Davey is a visiting professor at University of the Arts, London.

52-54 Bell Street, London, NW1 5DA

For his third solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery, Ai Weiwei has created a monumental new installation of bicycles as part of an ongoing series, ‘Forever’, as well as a number of hand-carved, domestic-scale copies – in various materials including wood, stainless steel and crystal – of some highly personal objects. These include: a marble recreation of his father’s armchair; two sets of humble cosmetics bottles fashioned from jade; various handmade facsimiles of coat-hangers and pairs of handcuffs; as well as the window handles taken from Beijing taxis, which appear to be readymades, only remade in clear glass.

52-54 Bell Street, London, NW1 5DA

For his first solo exhibition with Lisson Gallery in over three decades, Richard Long presents a new work made directly in the gallery, as well as other recent pieces made on walks in England, Switzerland and Antarctica. Having began his career with the gallery in the 1970s, Long comes full circle while continuing to investigate many of the themes that concerned him then – from the real and conceptual routes he traverses, to the existential notion of the solitary exploration of nature.

Charlie Tuesday Gates, 6pm private view 'The Museum House of Death'

www.the-vaults.org/#!comingup/c1938

The Vaults, Leake Street SE1, London SE1 7NN

Despite never describing herself as a taxidermist, Charlie Tuesday Gates was instrumental in bringing this previously dark art into the mainstream with her pioneering performance series, D.I.Y Taxidermy LIVE! Gates’ first solo show since retirement transports you into a fantasy underworld where beauty and death collide with nostalgia and borderline insanity. Alarming, intriguing and provocative, her sculptures are shrines to forgotten lives and abandoned pasts, where visual puns and contextual juxtapositions offer a surreal and derisive commentary on popular culture and tradition.


Raven Row, 7:30pm performance Robert Whitman 'Inside Out'

www.ravenrow.org

56 Artillery Lane, London E1 7LS

First staged in 1987 when the Marcel Duchamp scholar Ulf Linde invited Whitman to take his place at a conference at the Philadelphia Museum of Art celebrating the centenary of Duchamp’s birth, this work was inspired by Whitman’s conversations with Linde, and invokes the image of Duchamp as Rrose Sélavy. On each evening video documentation of other historical performances by Whitman will also be shown.
These events are free but booking is essential as space is limited. Please email info@ravenrow.org to reserve a place, specifying the performance you wish to attend.

Four years later he represented Britain at the Venice Biennale. His career was cut short in 1985 with the diagnosis of a debilitating illness during a visit to the Makonda tribe to study wood carving. After a ten-year struggle to recover his health, Pope regained his abilities and his important post-recovery sculpture installation, The Apostles Speaking in Tongues, was shown to much accolade by the Tate in its 'Art Now' programme in 1996.
