ONLINE | THE BOTANICAL MIND : ART, MYSTICISM AND THE COSMIC TREE
Apr 22 - Jul 31, 2020
View online: www.botanicalmind.online
Drawing on indigenous traditions from the Amazon rainforest; alternative perspectives on Western scientific rationalism; and new thinking around plant intelligence, philosophy and cultural theory, The Botanical Mind Online investigates the significance of the plant kingdom to human life, consciousness and spirituality across cultures and through time. It positions the plant as both a universal symbol found in almost every civilisation and religion across the globe, and the most fundamental but misunderstood form of life on our planet.
This new online project brings together digital commissions, podcasts, films, texts, images and audio in an expanding archive that will be updated and added to regularly over the coming weeks.

PENNY GORING : ESCAPE FROM BLOOD CASTLE
Mar 14 - Jul 14, 2020 FINAL WEEK
Campoli Presti is pleased to present Escape from Blood Castle, Penny Goring's first exhibition with the gallery. A series of drawings, paintings, sculptures and videos respond to personal and universal traumas such as grief, violence, addiction, ageing, chronic pain and fear, increasingly exacerbated by the incessant expansion of economic relations into our private realm. The exhibition title evokes a "solve it yourself" puzzle adventure book from the 80s and the impossibility to think our experiences outside capitalist terms.

ONLINE | MERYL MCMASTER : AS IMMENSE AS THE SKY
through summer
Explore works at: culturecanada.co.uk/meryl-mcmaster-at-canada-gallery
Meryl McMaster is a Canadian artist, living and working in Ottawa. She describes her work as sculptural photography — incorporating props, constructed garments and performance to examine her sense of identity and selfhood. McMaster has dual heritage and is Nêhiyaw (Plains Cree) and a member of the Siksika First Nation on her father’s side and has British, Dutch and Scottish ancestry on her mother’s side. For her latest series, As Immense as the Sky (2019), McMaster set out to gather the wisdom and folklore of relatives on both sides of her heritage. She traveled to sites of ancestral significance across Canada following waterways and ancient pitching trails where social, cultural and environmental histories have collided. Her self-portraits reanimate mythology and family anecdotes through her own personally transformative journey through the landscape. The series draws upon themes of memory, migration, genealogy and time as McMaster retraces the footsteps of her ancestors. Her images explore the intersections of both her Indigenous and European heritage whilst revealing Canada’s conflicted colonial legacies. McMaster is represented in London by The Baldwin Gallery, in Toronto by the Stephen Bulger Gallery and in Montréal by Pierre-François Ouellette Art Contemporain.
To listen to alongside McMaster’s images is the music of Polaris Prize winning, Jeremy Dutcher. A member of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, Jeremy first did music studies in Halifax before taking a chance to work in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History, painstakingly transcribing Wolastoq songs from 1907 wax cylinders. His debut album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa is a response to what he heard in deep dialogue with the voices of his ancestors. Although from different indigenous backgrounds, Dutcher and McMaster share a similar desire to engage in new ways with their ancestral past.

ONLINE PROGRAMMING
Summer 2020
During this period of closure the Chelsea Space team will instead post regular updates online of our curatorial research and teaching activities, starting with the postponed exhibition, Fold, Twist, Bind, Knot: Transformation and Resistance through Craft, starting with Anne Maile Archive at London College of Fashion, which will feature as part of exhibition.
Access to this collection was enabled through the work of Jane Holt (former Senior Research Fellow LCF), and Eleanor Foden (former MA Fashion student). In recounting Maile’s biography, Holt emphasised Maile’s background and home life before working as a teacher specialising in tie-dye textiles in the 1960-70s, to underscore her pedagogical approach. The collection contains an abundance of notes and samples made as part of her experimentation with dyeing, as well as an unpublished children’s book that was illustrated by tie-dyed paper characters made by Maile.

In autumn 2020 Chisenhale Gallery presents the first solo exhibition in a UK institution by Ho Chi Minh City-based artist Thao Nguyen Phan. Working with painting, installation, performance and film, Phan’s work explores social conventions, history and tradition through non-fiction and fictional narratives.
Phan’s new commission Becoming Alluvium, builds on her ongoing research into the Mekong River, which runs through Tibet, China, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Composed of two elements – a single channel film work and a series of lacquer and silk paintings – the works simultaneously explore real and imaginary worlds, weaving narratives concerning food security and ecological sustainability with myth, memory and ritual.

SOPHIE VON HELLERMANN : A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM
Jul 13 - Aug 8, 2020
Pilar Corrias is pleased to present Sophie von Hellermann’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, an exhibition of twelve new paintings.
Sophie von Hellermann’s paintings originate as projections of her imagination. A small kernel into her mind which is blown up onto a large canvas. These projections become a background for a shadow dance where something that is conjured comes into existence. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream we are invited into a series of imaginary vignettes that are inspired by the foibles of wonderment and love. The series was completed amidst the dreamlike experience of her lockdown in the English countryside. von Hellermann felt a sense of urgency to paint during this period of global sickness and isolation and sickness The parallels between her experience of sleeping, resting and madness and Shakespeare’s play lead Von Hellermann to be inspired by the environment that surrounded her; the woods amidst the dew drops on the sweetly scented flowers, the joy of spring and summer at the same time as this period of uncertainty and death.

SHAWANDA CORBETT : NEIGHBOURHOOD GARDEN
Jun 16 - Jul 31, 2020
Tommaso Corvi-Mora is proud to present “Neighbourhood Garden”, Shawanda Corbett’s first exhibition at the gallery.
Shawanda Corbett’s interdisciplinary practice addresses the question of what is a complete body, looking at the different cycles of a human’s life through cyborg theory.
She uses her perspective as a woman of colour with a disability to root theory into reality. Corbett’s performances are developed around the architecture of the exhibition space. Collaborating with choreographer Albert Corbett, she responds to the performance space through a live inner dialogue. Corbett’s performances incorporate
her ceramics practice; the human body, architecture, and dance leave their traces on her ceramic vessels and surfaces. With this exhibition project, she aims to reflect on her experiences growing up and on the notion of community. Corbett is pursuing a doctoral degree in Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art and Wadham College, University of Oxford.

ANDREAS ERIKSSON : MAPPING MEMORIES, TRACING TIME
Jun 15 - Jul 31, 2020
From 16 June 2020, the gallery relaunches its March exhibition of Andreas Eriksson, 'Mapping Memories, Tracing Time', which brings together a new series of large-scale handwoven tapestries. Rendered in subtle hues of undyed yarn, this body of work offers a unique window onto the artist’s rural surroundings in Medelplana, Sweden.

ONLINE VIEWING ROOM | YINKA SHONIBARE CBE, 'JUSTICE FOR ALL'
Jun 15 - Jul 31, 2020
(Also viewable from the street) www.stephenfriedman.com/viewing-room
In light of the events of the past month and the Black Lives Matter movement, Stephen Friedman Gallery has been amplifying its artists voices in solidarity with the cause. To mark the reopening of the gallery, a monumental work by acclaimed British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE will be presented in the UK for the first time. The sculpture will be installed in the gallery’s Viewing Room, making ‘Justice for All’ visible from the street and giving the work the public focus it deserves. Lights will remain on during the night to make the sculpture available to the public 24/7.

ANDREAS ERIKSSON
Jun 15 - Jul 31, 2020
Andreas Eriksson's presentation at Stephen Friedman Gallery comprises a new series of large-scale handwoven tapestries and a majestic oil and acrylic painting. The Swedish artist is known for his subtly textured paintings of the natural world, describing them as “existential landscapes”. This new body of tapestries expands the artist’s formal language and demonstrates the connections between these two distinct practices.
 
Rendered in subtle hues of undyed yarn, this body of tapestries offers a unique window onto the artist’s rural surroundings in Medelplana, Sweden. Hovering between abstraction and figuration, these meditative works can be interpreted as patchwork topographies or details of organic forms such as trees, earth and rock formations.

YINKA SHONIBARE CBE : JUSTICE FOR ALL
Jun 15 - Jul 31, 2020
In light of the events of the past month and the Black Lives Matter movement, Stephen Friedman Gallery has been amplifying its artists' voices in solidarity with the cause. To mark the reopening of the gallery, a monumental work by acclaimed British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE is presented for the first time in the UK. The sculpture is installed in the gallery’s Viewing Room, making ‘Justice for All’ visible from the street and giving the work the public focus it deserves. Lights remain on during the night to make the sculpture available to the public 24/7.
 
Shonibare explains, “I wanted to think about Justice, especially in the light of George Floyd’s tragic death. This particular work was exhibited at Singapore’s Old Parliament House earlier this year. Justice has to be equally applied. People of African origin do not seem to have fair justice. Those injustices have always been there and things have to change. Some of these issues I've explored in my work have been going on for thirty years and I’m sad to think that those things are still going on."
 
‘Justice for All’ re-configures British sculptor F.W. Pomeroy’s Lady Justice (1905- 1906), which stands upon the dome of London’s imposing Central Criminal Court (otherwise known as The Old Bailey). Instead of her habitual golden garb, Shonibare’s Lady Justice is depicted wearing a brightly patterned, ankle-length garment, apparently fashioned from ‘African’ batik. With both hands outstretched, Lady Justice wields a sword in her right hand and balances the scales of justice in her left. In place of a head, she sports a hand-painted globe, featuring a map of the world. Shonibare’s oeuvre investigates notions of imperialist authority and power. Seducing us with its colour and beauty, Shonibare re-interprets Lady Justice for an interior setting, whilst retaining the dramatic impact of the iconic public sculpture.

JONATHAN BALDOCK : FACECRIME (SUSPECT)
Jul 1 - 31, 2020
Stephen Friedman Gallery is pleased to present a new installation ‘Facecrime (suspect)’ by British artist Jonathan Baldock in Gallery Two. This monumental installation comprises precariously stacked ceramic columns. Evoking both ancient ruins and a surreal vision of the future, these hand-crafted forms reflect the artist's interest in myth, folklore and narratives associated with ‘outsider' practices. Baldock’s prevalent use of Yves Klein blue makes the work shimmer and glow with a spiritual, alchemical quality.

CASA MALAPARTE : FURNITURE
Jun 15 - Sep 19, 2020
Gagosian is pleased to present new editions of furniture pieces from the legendary Casa Malaparte in Capri, Italy.
In 1937, renowned author Curzio Malaparte—born as Kurt Erich Suckert in 1898—purchased a plot of land overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. There, he supervised the construction of Casa Malaparte, his residence and architectural brainchild, to which he referred affectionately as “casa come me” (house like me). Designed in its entirety by Malaparte, from floor plan to furniture, the house blends classical and modernist influences, united under one roof with inimitable poetic drama.
From the curving white windbreak that arcs across its roof terrace to its deliberately secluded location atop a jutting promontory, Casa Malaparte embodies its maker’s renegade streak. Notorious for vacillating between religious and political ideological extremes, Malaparte was an active participant in the avant-garde artistic and literary circles of his time. After his death in 1957, the house lives on as an architectural masterwork and an inspirational platform for contemporary artists and designers.

CRUSHED, CAST, CONSTRUCTED
Jun 15 - Jul 31, 2020
Gagosian is pleased to present Crushed, Cast, Constructed: Sculpture by John Chamberlain, Urs Fischer, and Charles Ray.
An exploration of three divergent approaches to sculptural process, Crushed, Cast, Constructed juxtaposes works in metal by Chamberlain, Fischer, and Ray, orchestrating a rich conversation around material and method.
Chamberlain, who died in 2011, made sculptures out of used automotive parts and other premanufactured metal components, expanding the rhythmic impulses of Abstract Expressionist painting into three dimensions. In his works, these forms retain the aura of their industrial origins while simultaneously conveying a baroque mannerism. In the late 1960s, Chamberlain began using galvanized steel boxes to create “crushed” sculptures such as Untitled (1967), which juxtaposes pliant curves and sharp angles in an interplay of shadow, contour, and space.

Gala Porras-Kim's work traces the global circulation of ancient precolonial artefacts extracted from their original sites and stored in museums and private collections, exploring how the definitions and possibilities of these objects change in response to each context. Departing from official replicas of the monoliths recently found inside the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, her exhibition at Gasworks unravels the many worlds colliding in these powerful stones, from international copyright laws to cosmologies, stars and forces greater than us.
