www.iniva.org

Rivington Place, London, EC2A 3BA

Curator: Koyo Kouoh
Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) is pleased to present the first UK solo exhibition of artist Issa Samb at Rivington Place this summer, curated by Koyo Kouoh, Artistic Director of Raw Material Company based in Dakar, Senegal. Samb has developed a recognisable approach of provocation, collective action and improvisation that is rooted in modes of contemporary art and theatre, the role of the artist in the society, and the interactivity of traditional African performance. The gallery installation at Rivington Place will include materials and works shipped from Senegal as well as found elements collected in London’s street markets. Central to the exhibition will be fragments of the artist’s writings and footages and videos as well as short films from the oeuvre of French director Jean Michel Bruyère in which Samb plays the role of an actor at the service of Bruyère’s durational performance-installations. An archival display of material will also position Samb’s work in relation to his engagement with Laboratoire Agit’Art and to Senegalese art and politics.

http://www.narrativegallery.com/exhibitions/

35 Riding House Street, London W1W 7EA

narrative gallery and The Mews Project are pleased to present a screening of a new film by Patrick Hough; the second project in a series of week-long exhibitions, developed in collaboration between the two spaces, and presented at narrative gallery.
In his practice Hough deals with critical questions around cinema and history. Or, more precisely, with how cinematic interpretation of historic events could construct new histories. The artist uses abandoned film sets and props that were made to play the part of 'historical artefacts' in various movies to investigate the issues that arise around the institutional mode of representation in cinema. The relationship between 'the real' and constructed cinematic narratives is the main conceptual focal point in Hough's video works.

Raven Row, 6:30pm discussion 'Leap of Faith'

http://www.ravenrow.org/events/the_leap_of_faith/

56 Artillery Lane London E1 7LS

This discussion will address how ideas of transcendence, faith and despair relate to the work of Edward Krasinski, Cerith Wyn Evans and others in the exhibition. The starting point will be Søren Kierkegaard’s reflections on the ‘leap of faith’, and how the existential philosopher’s project coerces the reader to experience polarisations of doubt and hope.
The panel leading the discussion will comprise Mark Dean (artist and Anglican Chaplain and Interfaith Adviser for the University of the Arts London), Jo Melvin (Senior Lecturer in Fine Art Theory, Chelsea College of Arts), Alex Sainsbury (Director of Raven Row) and Michael Bracewell (curator of Play What’s Not There).

THURSDAY 5 JUNE

Raven Row, 5-9pm First Thursday late opening of Play What's Not There

http://www.ravenrow.org/current/play_whats_not_there_/

56 Artillery Lane London E1 7LS

Artists: Steven Campbell, Edward Krasinski, Linder, Bruce Nauman, Robert Whitman, Katharina Wulff and Cerith Wyn Evans
Curator: Michael Bracewell
Taking its title from an exhortation made by Miles Davis to his musicians, this exhibition identifies occasions in art when the seductions of consummate style or cleverness are sacrificed to gain access to a greater artistic, philosophical or spiritual reality. Such attainment may be achieved in varied ways: by invoking states of invisibility or self-negation, by the assumption of a mythic identity, by transforming repetition into incantation, or through the conversion of aphoristic elegance into gestures of transcendence.


AreByte, 5-9pm First Thursday late opening 'London Structural Sound Project'

http://www.arebyte.com/florian-tuercke/4583792754

Unit 4, 49 White Post Lane, Queens Yard, E9 5EN

Daniel Blau Gallery, 5-9pm First Thursday late opening Bailey 'For Real'

http://www.danielblau.com/exhibitions/2014/bailey-2/

51 Hoxton Square London, N1 6PB

Artist David Bailey is best known for his portraits of the trendsetting faces commonly seen in the pages of Vogue and, most recently, in “Bailey’s Stardust” at London’s National Portrait Gallery.
In addition to portraits of iconic figures such as Mick Jagger, ”Bailey: For Real” will present a collection of his photographs of the everyday, including captivating portraits of anonymous figures in Delhi and stark images of London’s East End. These works constitute a relatively unexplored yet equally intriguing component of Bailey’s artistic oeuvre.
Many of the works in this exhibition have ragged edges where Bailey has torn the photographic paper before printing, rendering each piece entirely unique.

Encounter Fine Art, 6:30-9pm private view Charles Hadcock 'Elements'

http://www.encounterfineart.com/#!charles-hadcock--elements/c1tb1

9 Conduit street, London, W1S 2XG

For Elements, Hadcock has produced an exquisitely crafted new series of large-scale bronze sculptures in his studio. The artist’s beautifully engineered objects initiate dynamic interplay between weight and weightlessness, and the form and the space with which it engages. For Hadcock nature and industry are ‘essential elements’, which when combined conjure ‘a distinct atmosphere of mechanical ingenuity with an empathy for natural phenomena’.

Kate MacGarry Gallery, 6-8pm private view Eustachy Kossakowski & Goshka Macuga

www.katemacgarry.com

27 Old Nichol Street London, E2 7HR

Artists: Eustachy Kossakowski and Goshka Macuga
Kate MacGarry is pleased to present an exhibition by Eustachy Kossakowski and Goshka Macuga that juxtaposes their two responses to the work of Kazimir Malevich.
In 1989, Polish artist-photographer Eustachy Kossakowski (1925-2001) documented the first retrospective of Kazimir Malevich at Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. Kossakowski, inspired by Malevich’s pre and post-Supremacist paintings, created a distinct body of work; a series of ten colour photographs which focused specifically on fragments from six Malevich paintings;Head of a Boy (1928-9), A Portrait of Ivan Vasilevich (1913), Cow and Violin (1913-4), The Accounting Lectern and Room (1913-4), Peasant Women in the Field (1928-32) and Landscape with Five Houses (1928-32). In doing so, Kossakowski uncovered texture, stretched colour fields and disrupted the original composition of the works; he was repeating Malevich’s iconoclastic Supremacist gesture by collapsing the distinction between the figurative and the abstract elements of Malevich’s paintings.



White Cube, 6-8pm private view Leo Gabin 'Inside the White Cube'

http://whitecube.com/exhibitions/leo_gabin_inside_the_white_cube_masons_yard_2014/ 25—26 

Mason’s Yard St James’s London SW1Y 6BU

White Cube is pleased to announce an exhibition of paintings and films by Leo Gabin, as part of the Inside the White Cube programme. The Belgian trio, made up of Lieven Deconinck, Gaetan Begerem and Robin De Vooght, investigate the materials and rituals of contemporary culture by pulling together endless amounts of online amateur video footage to create a new kind of narrative. Leo Gabin are interested in how American pop culture is filtered and interpreted through online viewing; how young people use the media to capture their surroundings and express themselves. Using imagery and videos from both public and private spheres (social networking sites), the resulting works evoke feelings not only of despair and sadness, but also hope and joy.

It may be many solar masses, at least three, though it may fit in your living room or the palm of your hand, and that tells you something. Volume is of no account. Size is no measure of influence. Mass = Density ¥ + Volume 0 will kill you.

Rosenfeld Porcini gallery, 6:30-8:30pm private view Mehran Elminia 'Painting'

www.rosenfeldporcini.com

37 Rathbone Street, London, W1T 1NZ

Mehran Elminia is a painter in the purest sense of the word. His artistic search is not to comment on politics, psychology, sociology, religion or human relationships. He is interested in exploring the language of painting as an end unto itself. This purity of intent connects him to the world of American abstract expressionism whose critic philosopher, Clement Greenberg, drew attention to the fact that renouncing narrative liberated the language of painting to be of itself without the need for anything else. The first cubisms of Picasso and Braque were also essentially concerned with language and revolutionising the picture plane, but there was still a narrative to be portrayed; the same could be said for literature, where within the experimental language of James Joyce in ‘Finnegans Wake’ there is still a story being recounted.


Alison Jacques Gallery, 6-8pm private view Iran do Espírito Santo

http://www.alisonjacquesgallery.com/exhibitions/109/works/

16-18 Berners Street London W1T 3LN

Alison Jacques Gallery is delighted to present our first solo exhibition of Brazilian artist Iran do Espírito Santo (born 1963, lives and works in Sao Paulo). Espírito Santo is one of Brazil’s most highly regarded contemporary artists known for his austere yet sensuous drawings, wall paintings, and sculptures.
Light has been a subject of many of Espírito Santo’s works and is clearly a focus for Axis, the hand-painted large site-specific wall installation that transforms the main space of the gallery. Employing fifty-six shades of grey paint, precise gradations create the illusion of kaleidoscopic light beams, which meet at a centre point, allowing the gallery wall to become both the support for the painting and part of the artwork. In the gallery side space is a sculptural installation entitled Nine Bulbs in which nine evenly spaced stainless steel sculptures are installed in a row. Resembling a light bulb through form and a knob through presentation, the artist displays an affinity for the readymade while deconstructing our perception of every day objects, capturing the exact moment at which an object becomes something we recognize.


WEDNESDAY 11 JUNE

Work Gallery, 5-8pm talk Married to the Bride of Denmark: The Architectural Review in the Time of de Cronin Hastings

http://workgallery.co.uk/WORK_2012-06-12/WORK_10A_Acton_Street_London.html

14 Wharf Road, London, N1 7RW

Drawing Room, 6-8:30pm private view Aleksandra Mir solo show

http://drawingroom.org.uk/exhibitions/drawing-room

12 Rich Estate, Crimscott Street London SE1 5TE

The work will be based on the architecture of London, and include expansive street scenes and intimate interior views that invite you to enter these spaces. Working directly onto a specialist canvas backdrop, commonly used in theatre, the resulting mural will be 4 metres high and will extend to over 24 metres in length. After completion, the resulting installation will remain on exhibition for an additional six weeks.

Pace Gallery, 6-8pm private view Adrian Ghenie 'Golems'

http://www.pacegallery.com/london/exhibitions/12671/golems

6-10 Lexington Street London W1F 0LB

In Jewish culture, a golem is an anthropomorphic creature, endowed with mystical powers, often seeking to carry terrible deeds. The word was used to mean an amorphous, unformed terracotta or clay figure in religious psalms and medieval texts*. For Ghenie, the golem is both a metaphor for modern artificiality and vanity. In these new paintings and more specifically through the figure of the English naturalist and geologist Charles Darwin, Ghenie seeks to challenge the obvious, and thoroughly investigate the environment in which radical ideas emerge.


THURSDAY 12 JUNE

Transition gallery (offsite), 5-9pm private view 'News From Nowhere' group show

http://www.transitiongallery.co.uk/htmlpages/newsfromnowhere.html

Klemscott House, 26 Upper Mall London W6 9TA

Artists: Benjamin Bridges, Matthew Cowan, Annabel Dover, Debbie Lawson, Cathy Lomax, William Morris, Laura Oldfield Ford, Alex Pearl, Alli Sharma, Mimei Thompson, Mark Titchner, Joel Tomlin.
News from Nowhere takes its title from William Morris’ utopian novel and vision for a future free from capitalism, alienation and industrialisation. In our current climate of political uncertainty, ‘disappearance’ of the working classes and shifting populations, Morris’ longings for a better world seem more pertinent than ever. Morris became increasingly involved in political activism and founded the Hammersmith Socialist Society, which held Sunday evening lecturers in the Coach House at Kelmscott House, Hammersmith. The location is directly referred to in News from Nowhere and the exhibition will take place in the historic meeting room. Morris also set up carpet looms in the Coach House before moving to Merton Abbey in 1881.

189 Shoreditch High Street, E1 6HU

Howard Griffin Gallery is pleased to present London Underground photographer Bob Mazzer's worldwide debut photographic exhibition which will open at the gallery on 12 June.
While working as a projectionist in a porn cinema in Central London during the 1980s, Bob Mazzer began photographing on the tube during his daily commute, creating irresistably joyous pictures alive with humour and humanity. This photographic social history then remained unseen and unexhibited until recently begin discovered.


Castle Fine Art, 6-9pm private view Raphael Mazzucco solo show

http://www.castlegalleries.com/

24 Bruton Street London W1J 6QQ

Raphael’s visual narratives celebrate the female form, capturing the naked bodies of the world’s most beautiful women against startling backdrops, from Icelandic glaciers to African wildlife, the outback of Western Australia to Vietnamese rice paddies. Raphael incorporates his photographs into layered narratives of paint, collage, and hand-written texts, all set under a thick layer of tactile resin. These artworks articulate through reinvention, and we journey alongside Raphael through terrains both geographic and emotional.

Standpoint Gallery, 6-9pm private view HEAD TO HEAD group show

http://www.standpointlondon.co.uk/Head%20to%20Head.html

45 Coronet Street, London N1 6HD

HEAD TO HEAD takes on four questions important to the continuing progression of painting. In response to each, a ‘pair’ of works offers a differing avenue of approach. Standoffs, arguments, and flirty winks provoke a charged space to deliberate current issues in painting.
1) What is painting after the Internet - has it changed?
Artists: Paulina Michnowska – Flore Nové-Josserand
2) How has the exponential growth of image culture changed painting's engagement with depiction?
Artists: Matthew Musgrave – Donal Moloney
3) What are the building blocks of painting, and to what extent do painters feel the need to employ them to complete a painting?
Artists: Nicholas John Jones – Ivan Liotchev
4) Is there still merit in taking the act of painting itself as the prime subject – rather than using it as a means to illustrate an external concept?
Artists: Phillip Allen – Estelle Thompson

http://domobaal.com/exhibitions/78-14-rupert-ackroyd-david-gates-christopher-rountree-andrew-curtis-niall-monro-international-lawns-01.html

3 John St London WC1N 2ES

Artists: Christopher Rountree, David Gates, Rupert Ackroyd + International Lawns (Andrew Curtis + Niall Monro)
Opening on Friday 13th June 'A Circle' is an exhibition by Christopher Rountree, David Gates, Rupert Ackroyd and International Lawns (Andrew Curtis and Niall Monro). The four component practices of this project seem to have all emerged fluidly (organically), each with a degree of ambivalence. Ambivalence is used here in the sense of a committed critical position that steers clear of imposing a strong judgement on the subject being explored. It seems each component has taken its cue from immediate vicinities and subjects, as all of us are embedded in our surroundings and histories and are working off these. A dichotomy of doubt lies at the heart of The Rural College and this represents an ambivalence to the idea of the rural as a place with both positive and negative connotations, ideas, processes etc, but an opinion on this subject is not forthcoming from the participants of this Rural College exercise. Rather, Rountree, Gates, Ackroyd, Curtis and Munro attempt to reflect the complicated make up of the rural - it's ambiguous nature as a named place, its multifarious and often conflicting uses and seek to explore these ideas so as to open them up further.

He worked towards their deinstitutionalisation by challenging the physical and psychological barriers that confined the patients, from the solid walls of the old buildings to the hierarchical relationships between clinicians and those in their care.

http://www.daniellearnaud.com/exhibitions/exhibition-dead-mother.html

123 Kennington Road London SE11 6SF UK

Dead Mother is about living. It attempts to make visible a hidden absence. It is about women who are successfully living their lives, invisibly accommodating the continuing space of their mother’s death at a crucial period of their neurological development.

http://autoitaliasoutheast.org/projects/golden-age-problems/

Unit 2, Rubicon Court, 3 York Way, King’s Cross, London N1C 4AE

Artists: Oreet Ashery, Marleen Boschen, Olivier Castel, Leni Cedric, Benedict Drew, Marianne Forrest, Mette Hammer Juhl + Lorenzo Tebano, Pablo Navarro MacLochlainn, Terence McCormack, Plastique Fantastique, Richard Thomas.
Art institutions sit comfy in the pockets of big corporations, broadcasters continue to sow the image-seeds of a tedious spectacular capitalism and publishers proliferate middlebrow infotainment and zombie-commenters. Compounding the problem, many artists remain enthralled by the mainstream, commercial art world.
One of the most prominent artists of his generation, Ed Atkins works primarily with High Definition video and text, exploiting and subverting the conventions of moving image and literature. Centred around an augmented and appended version of the new multi-screen video work Ribbons, Atkins’s exhibition transforms the Serpentine Sackler Gallery into a submersive environment of syncopated sounds, bodies and spaces. This is his largest solo exhibition in a UK public institution to date.

Luxembourg & Dayan, 6-8pm private view Mario Schifano 1960 – 67

http://luxembourgdayan.com/

2 Savile Row, London W1S 3PA

Luxembourg & Dayan is delighted to announce an exhibition of seminal works by one of Italy's most significant post-war artists, Mario Schifano(1934–98). Schifano was a truly radical figure who considered painting to be the frontier of the avant-garde, an intrinsically human art form capable of capturing the lifeblood of contemporary culture. His prodigious talent was at its height in the '60s, a decade in which he experimented extensively with media and techniques, traversing a wide spectrum of styles that he made entirely his own. By focusing upon the years when his artistic output was at its most intense, the exhibition 'Mario Schifano 1960 – 67' demonstrates the artist's extraordinary range of techniques and materials during this era. The works featured in the exhibition have important early provenance - some passing through the hands of legendary dealers like Giorgio Marconi and Ileana Sonnabend - others previously in inspired collections like Franchetti in Rome.

THURSDAY 26 JUNE

Charlie Smith London, 6:30-8:30pm private view Alex Gene Morrison 'Same As It Ever Was'

www.charliesmithlondon.com

336 Old St, 2nd Floor, Shoreditch, London EC1V 9DR

This new collection of paintings signifies a culmination of ideas that Morrison has been exploring for over ten years. There is a distinctively anthropological feeling to his images of skulls, forests, monsters and totemic abstract forms that call to mind the primitive and tribal. Signifiers of fire and raw electrical energy convey thoughts of destruction, transformation and re-animation via elemental forces. Morrison reminds us that there are embedded, archetypal elements within us that abridge modern and primeval man. Simultaneously, ongoing obsessions with horror and sci-fi movies; video games; sub cultural design; alternative music and the oppressive, unrelenting rhythms of Doom Metal all seep into and out of the work.


Siobhan Davies Studios, 7pm The Garden Bridge Project

http://www.siobhandavies.com/whats-on/talks-events/the-garden-bridge/ 

85 St George’s Road, London SE1 6ER

http://www.janebustin.com/exhibitions.html

Austin Forum, 55 Fulham Palace Road, London W6 8AU

The Astonishing by Jane Bustin is a series of paintings developed into modernist female icons, a balance of material, colour and structure. There is something strong and resolved in their form, but hints and sides of shadow and fragility in their effect.
The recent series of works 'Tabitha' and 'St Christina the Astonishing' take their reference from 14th century frescoes, iconography and the stories behind the making of female Saints. Whilst the final painting resembles a formalist abstract construct, the choice of colour, paint and material used, directly reflects the psychological concept of the subject.


Anise Gallery, 6-9pm private view Minho Kwon new works

http://www.anisegallery.co.uk/portfolio/forthcoming-new-works-by-minho-kwon-27-june-20-july/

13a Shad Thames, London, SE1 2PU

Minho Kwon’s spectacularly detailed drawings are a result of a combination of factors; the regimented structure whilst growing up in Seoul; his exposure to architecture at an early age and his interest in the economic history of Korea. The result is all encompassing; intricate drawings filled with political debate, questions of modernism and, most fundamentally, an in depth analysis of Korean culture.
